Now that I'm better at taking my own advice, I wanted to share some of my favorite mottos and sayings. These phrases guide my life into the one I enjoy living. While they might not fit your lifestyle, I believe these are all things we should all strive to remember in our daily lives.


"Kill them with kindness"

This is one of my favorites. It's so important to treat everyone with kindness, and even more so those who treat you with adversity. You can never feel guilty if you act only with kindness. Being kind can be the tougher path to take, but you will be thankful you chose it in the end.


"Time heals all wounds"

As f**king cheesy as this is, it could not be more true. Time really will take all of your pain and sadness away. The memories of old lovers fade and the embarrassments of daily life will be forgotten. Time can bring people back to you, but also keep the worst of them away. Sometimes we try to solve our problems quickly because it's convenient, but in the end, time will fix it all.


"Have courage and be kind"

Along the same lines as killing them with kindness, it's important to remember to have courage. Even little, everyday tasks can take some courage from time to time. Don't forget to find the courage in your everyday life and to remain kind to others. They might be trying to find their own courage.


"Everything happens for a reason"

This one has been extra relevant in my life lately. People can come in and out of our lives and we don't always get to know the reasons why. All we can do is trust that them coming and going is better for us.


"It will all work out in the end"

The famous phrase everyone probably hears in their lifetime. When we're in the thick of a person struggle or crisis, it can be difficult to hear this saying. However, once we're out of that darkness, we can usually see that it really did all work out in the end. Look for that light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long that tunnel might be.


What's the phrase or saying that rules your 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.

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.
