Appreciate The Little Things

When You're feeling down

think of all the beautiful things that life has to offer.

Picture the burnt orange sky as the sun rises

Imagine the birds signing and the warm breeze flowing through your hair.

The feeling of freshly washed sheets

Driving with the windows down

Screaming songs at the top of your lungs with your best friends

Looking deep into the eyes of the one you love

Falling asleep next to someone

and waking up to them still there.

Finding yourself falling in love.

A home cooked meal with your family

Vanilla bean candles scenting the house.

The chill of ocean water washing over your feet when you first step in.

Walking along the beach

Toes in the sand and sun beating down

The first sip of water after an exhausting workout.

Getting on an airplane for the very first time.

Riding a roller coaster with your hands in the air and eyes closed.

Hearing your favorite song on the radio

Your first kiss

A warm bubble bath after a long day

Hearing "I love you" from the right person.


Life is absolutely beautiful

Sometimes you just need to step back-

Look at the big picture,

And Appreciate the little things.

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?

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.
