Survival Is Within You To Become A Better Adult In Society

Forget about reliances, and believe in yourself.

So, there are certain times in life when we make ourselves believe that we can't survive without certain things. Due to this, we develop reliances and lead ourselves to falsely believe that we cannot be who we are without it. The thing to realize is that everything you have and everything you have accomplished is because of you, not something that can become a reliance and mislead your mind.

As usual, I've been pondering things, and there are times when we let our guard down and think that without that certain thing, we can't survive. This is in fact, false. It seems that most reliances when used correctly can just be a way of taking our minds off of what may be bothering us.

This doesn't mean that reliances in this context are wrong, but they can be bad if used incorrectly. Even so, you shouldn't look at it as something you need to survive. You survive because you are a living, breathing thing. Anyting external can influence us, but shouldn't become a paranoid belief that without it you can't survive, because this can lead to crazy mental patterns and strange outcomes.

Basically, all I'm saying is that you are the reason that everything is possible. Everything you've accomplished is because of you, not your reliances. The only reason to have a reliance is to take your mind of things, not to control your life. You are in control of your own existence.

At the end of the day, when you look in the mirror, it's just you. Case closed.

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.
