Good luck future self.

A Letter To Myself
newevolutiondesigns.com

This is just a short letter to my future self.

Hey me, listen up, right now I'm not sure of what I'm doing. You can say I'm lost, or maybe a little misguided. I'm not ideally where I want to be. I'm writing this in hopes you will not be me, the me I am now, in the future. I am not the person I thought I was; I believed myself to be kind, gentle, and a hard worker. What I really am, is rough, selfish, and someone who is hardly working. I don't overachieve and there will be a slight chance I never do. I could have been so close to accomplishing so many things, yet focused on things that didn't matter. I let all of my dreams die without ever giving them a chance. I could have been on a different path but got complacent with where I was. I fell for simplicity and never chased after anything I wanted. I gave up when I shouldn't have. The first twenty-one years of my life, I have lived waiting for something good to happen. I've never gone and made something good happen.

You need to fix this, fix us, fix me. Work as hard as you can, and be yourself, your true self at all times. Don't go judging others unless you can handle being judged yourself. You need to make sure the rest of my life is a great one. You need to have ambition and keep yourself moving forward. You need to be proactive. You need to make sure the next twenty-one years of my life are some of the best years of my life. Work hard, and shoot for you're dreams if you have the chance. Don't give up, and just be the best person you can be for the rest of you're life.

Please Listen, Future Self. This is not for me but for you. Past me can not be changed, present me is stuck, but you can help make a difference.

Be that difference.

-Love,

Me..

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
