The Importance Of Appreciating Yourself

You might feel alone, I'm here to tell you, you're not.

The Importance Of Appreciating Yourself

To come this far in life, I have walked through Hell and back. I know it sounds bad, but I'm here to tell you it gets better. I've talked many friends out of self harm as well as suicide. I love hearing what other people have to say and making sure everyone feels important in their own way. If you're like me, you know the struggle of always putting others before yourself.

Sometimes, when we do this it's easy to lose track of loving yourself and it's hard to remember that it's okay to put yourself before others every once in a while. It's okay to take care of you, if you're always taking care of everyone else's needs and wants. We tend to forget that making ourselves feel important is something we should do as well. Why I say "Never Give Up" is simple.

If you're the person who people come to for stress-relief, venting or even a shoulder to cry on, it can be hard to find someone to be there for you and your own stress-relief or venting. You may ask yourself, "Where's my shoulder?" Most people, myself included, tend to feel unwanted and under-appreciated. Well, we aren't. Because of you, people have survived. You turned their tears into smiles, their broken hearts into mended minds, and, most importantly, you have influenced them in one way they can't forget. Because of you, we are still here. When you feel lonely, don't be scared to turn the page in the book of your life.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.
