5 Reasons Being Weird Is Okay

Because normal can get boring.

On a day to day basis people would call me crazy. When I respond with “Well I prefer the term weird,” I get a number of reactions. Some people laugh, some people question me and others just let the statement go. It’s hard to fully admit when people are outside the “normal” scale, trust me it took me a couple years. Here are some reasons to admit to yourself being weird is an okay thing.

1. Your personality could reflect on it.

You know those people, the ones with the outgoing personalities. Usually those people express the most weirdness out of them all. Although I’ve seen people with other personalities express a level of weirdness I can’t top myself.

2. There are different types of weird.

From that one socially awkward person who can’t fully express themselves because no one will let them, to the guy in the street corner putting on a one man show, there’s no stopping the amounts of weirdness that come alive in one or more persons.

3. It doesn’t always have to be called weird.

Especially for those who don’t fully called you weird (like I mentioned in the beginning). The more ways you call it, the better it is for everyone.

4. Most social events are perfect for you.

From parties with your friends to other family events, your level of weirdness could be just the right amount. It could probably even kick things off.

5. Being weird, is being yourself!

There’s no one stopping you from being yourself unless they truly want to change you. If they want to get rid of your weirdness then they are not the people for you.

In short, I love being who I am with the right people. There’s endless possibilities of discovering myself no matter what day or month out of the year. So for those in the same boat as me, stay weird!

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
