It could be the best of both worlds, but you'll always find your way back home.

The Stages Of Moving To A New Place As Told By Hannah Montana

Blogspot

One of the many things I didn't want to hear in my lifetime were my parents saying, "We're moving," especially since I've been living in my house for my whole life. A million thoughts run through your head such as, "Will I still see my friends/boyfriend/girlfriend?" "Where/when are we moving?" "I don't want to move!" You might even shed a tear or two...or a couple hundred. It might even make you nauseous just thinking about leaving behind what you grew up with. Just the thought of "change"—everyone's least favorite word—makes you sick to your stomach and your head spin. I'm sure Miss Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart can relate.

1. Finding out you're moving.

2. Resentment towards your parents.

3. Breaking the news to your friends/significant other.

4. Getting sad just thinking about it.

5. Whenever someone brings up the "m word," in general

6. Getting the grand tour of the new house and realizing it's not all that bad.

7. ...but your immediate reaction is "I hate it."

8. But yet you're slowly learning to accept it the fact that you are moving and there's nothing you can do about it.

9. Realizing you have such little time before the move and you have yet to pack.

10. Finding things from your childhood as you pack.

11. Sitting in your room and thinking of all the memories made in not just your house, but your town.

12. Dealing with random strangers coming inside your house (prospective buyers).

13. Making plans with your friends/boyfriend/girlfriend to visit you.
14. Realizing a new place means new adventures and a new beginning for your family.
Remember Lucas Till from the movie?

15. The day you move... so bittersweet (there may be tears involved).

16. But then you realize you're out of that boring town full of people you never really liked in the first place.

17. Arriving at your new house.

18. Being exhausted from this whole process.

19. But you might as well get used to the new environment because that's where you'll be living till you move out!

I conclude with this insight: whether we are happy or sad has more to do with our attitude than with our situation. We have more control over our attitudes than we do over the things that happen to us. Attitude over situation comes also comes with acceptance. Moving is just another thing I'll have to accept. Remember this if you and your family are moving, too.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

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.
