Our Time Here On Earth Is Precious, So Stop Wishing For The Weekend
Kaitlyn Moore

All of us wish for this day to end. We wish for the weekend, for school to be over. We wish for this work shift to finally end. We wish for summer.

Why?

Stop wishing away your entire life. Those rough moments while you have to be at work, (which you're getting paid to do) are parts of your life. Imagine if we stopped complaining about having to go to work, and we turned our attitude completely around. Making the "worst" parts of our week not so bad changes our mindset completely.


If we all make the best out of the worst parts of our weeks, days, months, then we won't have anything bad to worry about.

Monday morning, you wake up, and immediately wish for it to be Friday. What you don't know, is that you just wished away 5 important days of the week.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day.

28,000 seconds are used for sleeping a lovely 8 hour.

How are you going to spend those other seconds? Some people would do anything to have more time on this Earth. Be grateful and thankful for this give of life. It is your only shot.

Don't spend time thinking negatively.

Instead, focus on every positive part of the situation. Things will pass on, this problem will end. Things get worse before they finally get good.

If you make Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the most awesome days ever, you will definitely live happier and feel more relaxed.

This life we are living on Earth is not unlimited. This is something I personally struggle with remembering, but it sits in the back of my mind.

Life is only so short, and we should spend every moment grateful and humble that we are still this old and yet this young.

Love every moment of life. Soak in all of the positive energy. Release the negative energy.

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.
