Taking Back Our Lives

No Matter How Hard The Devil Tries, he Will NOT Succeed

Taking Back Our Lives

I contemplated for days and soon those days turned into weeks about what my next posts would be about. Getting back into the swing of college life after a break was tough. A whole new major and life at school did not stop for anyone. A new year and new decade brought about change in my life for good. With that stated, I have spent a lot of time with God and in prayer to reclaim my life and have a stronghold to the one who is in charge of it all.

Being a Psychology major, I am able to see how development shapes us to who we become and who we are. It helps me see why we react certain ways or how we function in our daily lives. Being a believer in Christ, I feel it is important to know and understand His people. He created each of us so differently and to be such complex individuals and to study and understand all of this is fascinating.

As I have been focusing more on my spiritual well-being and my relationship with God, the devil has been trying to come at me in the form of stress, worry, and jumping to conclusions. My mom has always told me that "Those who believe in Him, the devil tries to steal, kill, and destroy." It is true, but my faith will only get stronger because in times of feeling defeated by circumstances, I will trust in God more because I know He has always got my back and He has my life in His hands.

Tying it back to Psychology, I believe God puts these internal strife in our lives for us to come back to Him and cling tight to His will and plan for our lives.

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.
