Whats Meant To Be Will Be...

Sometimes in life, things don’t always go as planned. Society, myself included, has this idea of a “life plan” that we all came up with when we were twelve. Graduate high school with the kids you have been with forever, go to the college you have wanted to go to since you were little and live it up with your new besties, get a great job in the city and move in with your college friends, meet the man of your dreams at a bar one night after work, get married- a black tie downtown Boston, have 5 kids- 2 boys and 3 girls and enjoy the rest of your life with your beautiful family and friends.

Many at times it doesn’t go as planned, maybe you don’t graduate college as soon as you had planned or you meet the right guy at the wrong time. These are all things that you have to either accept and move on from or take as a blessing and run with. It is not always the "bad timing" that we think it is, everything happens for a reason and even though it might not be the vision you had, it is now part of your journey through life.

Whether you choose to scrap the plan and take what God gave to you or push it off to a later date, you cant mess with fate. If its meant to be it will be. Life is going to throw you many curve balls and how to react to them is what matters in the long run.

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:

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.
