To The Girl On The Edge Of The Party Stage

Don't go through life letting others dictate the kind of person you want to be.

To The Girl On The Edge Of The Party Stage
Stocksnap

Being in college, you realize how often people really go out. Most of the time it's around 2 to 3 times a week. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that they can handle going out that often, but I'm not somebody who can stay up late partying.

My advice? Don't go through life letting others dictate the kind of person you want to be. Make your own decisions, even if that means losing out on friends. You will make more friends who like to do the same things as you. Don't try to please others who wouldn't approve of you doing your own thing.

Don't let people tell you that you're lame or boring if you don't go out and make a fool of yourself. Be the girl who stays in a watches Netflix until midnight, actually gets sleep in college, or doesn't miss any homework because she was too wasted to do it. Be the girl that you want your daughter to be like.

Don't go out just to hang out with your friends if you are uncomfortable. Hang out with your friends at the movies, rec center, or go eat lunch or dinner with them. Don't conform to what others want or expect you to be.

If you aren't the girl who feels like partying every night, then don't. Stay in and binge-watch Netflix or have a dance party with your roommate. Be your own kind of fun.

Be the hope for the future. Make good choices. Be a good role model to the kids that look up to you.

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.

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.
