The Beauty of Minding Your Own Business

Be a happier person.

The Beauty of Minding Your Own Business
Reddit

We all have a nosy bone in our body somewhere. It's alright you can admit it. But there's a fine line between wanting to know things and going out of your way to find out things. There's a fine line between listening to someone speak and listening but then going to tell everyone you know. There's also a fine line between things that just have nothing to do with you.

It's important to find that fine line people.

Let's be real, we're all adults (scary, I know) and we shouldn't be spreading rumors. Nor should we be unable to keep secrets. Yes, I know some people struggle with keeping their mouths shut, and struggle with keeping secrets bottled up. There's a simple solution, and it may sound harsh. But.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

You'll avoid ruining a friendship by spreading their business around, and you'll for sure learn to keep things to yourself if you want anyone to tell you anything every again.

Now, not everyone sucks at keeping secrets. Some people are great at it actually. However, some people have the downfall of wanting to put their nose where it doesn't belong, and then sometimes they try to chime their two cents where it isn't wanted. Once again, here I go.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

Not everyone is open to opinions. And I can guarantee you, many people don't like being told what to do with their lives. Some people forget the golden rule of treat others the way you want to be treated. Would you want someone who constantly asks for your gossip and nothing else? Probs not.

All in all, minding your own business makes you a happier person if you really think about it. You don't have to worry about problems that aren't yours. You don't have to worry about anyone saying you're spreading rumors. Really, it'll make you a happier person if you keep to yourself.

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.

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.
