I'm Sorry You're Unhappy, But Stop Sh*tting On My School

Stop walking around and making everyone else uncomfortable in a place they love just because you're miserable.

I get it, trying to find the perfect fit for college isn't easy.

The process of killing yourself for the SAT, writing multiple essays, applying to various schools and waiting to hear back is grueling. And sometimes after all that you still don't wind up in a place where you feel at home. But if you're not doing anything to help yourself, I don't feel bad.

I have friends who have worked tirelessly to get perfect grades at their second choice schools to prepare themselves to transfer to their dream schools. I've seen other people transfer two or three times until they found the school that was perfect for them. After seeing them not settle for second best and work harder than anything to get what they wanted I can confidently say, it is achievable.

Because of this, I have ZERO sympathy for people who mope around the schools they're at, feeling stuck and complaining non-stop. Especially when you're complaining about features of the school you knew about before you enrolled, and have put up with for almost two years. If you truly hated it that much you would make a change.

I happen to currently be attending my DREAM school. Villanova is the school I had grown up visiting and thinking about throughout my whole childhood. Getting into Villanova is a day I'll never forget and being here every day still feels a little surreal to me. I understand not everyone has such an easy time finding the place where they fit, but that does NOT give them the right to trash talk my school all the time.

Call your parents, confide in a friend, write a blog, I do not care. Whatever you need to do to vent is cool with me. Just stop walking around and making everyone else uncomfortable in a place they love just because you're unhappy. It's not fair to us or you. I'm sorry you're too lazy to find a better situation for yourself, but layoff the rest of us.

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.

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.
