" Thats the toughest part, ya know? letting go" that line was said by one of my favorite actresses Peyton Sawyer from One Tree Hill, and after that it had me thinking. I think as many people can relate, I myself have trouble letting go. I'm that type of person that holds onto a memory, grudges or really anything and has trouble letting go. But I think this past year I finally realized that I can't do that anymore. I have to learn how to let go, make new memories and learn to forgive. All new things for me.

As I look back I realize how many great things have happened to me, but also some really life changing things as well. Those things shaped me , and that is the reason I am who I am. So when I mean you have to learn how to let go I mean learn how to let go of what is holding you from making new memories. Its okay to look back once in a while but everyone needs to create their own new story. Recently, I found out that my past was holding me back. I think that was hard for me to realize. Because of that I have lost some friends, missed some experiences but life is all about learning, and as long as you take something away from the lesson then you can only grow as a person.

So before you look back and say, "I wish I could go back to that time" which I catch myself saying a lot, realize that somethings will never be the same and you have to let go. So, I know for myself and many can agree I am going to focus on learning how to move on and let go. Start new memories, and let go of the ones that have been holding you back. You can only look back for so long before you get trapped in your past.

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.
