The Concept of "Timing" Is A Bunch Of Bullsh*t, Here's Why
Tumblr

I have never really taken the time to think about whether or not fate is a real thing. Watching movies about soulmates and love at first sight was never enough for me to sit down and actually ask myself, does the perfect person for me exist? I always thought the concept of the right person was kind of bizarre. I mean how do you know that your paths are going to ever cross? Who decides that? God? Fate? The Universe? So many questions with no exact answers.

Taking these questions into consideration, how do we know when we've found the one? But more important than that, how do we know that it's the right time? People say that timing is everything. You can't be with someone if it's not the right "time". What if you're only 16 when you meet the love of your life or you just got out of a six year relationship or you are already married to someone else? So how can the concept of timing possibly be reliable?

In my opinion, the "right time" is a bunch of bullshit. It's an excuse for people to say that they can't be with you now, not because they actually can't, because they don't want to. "The timing doesn't feel right." What the f*ck is that supposed to mean? We can never be sure that the timing is right, that is something that we figure out down the road. How do you know its right or wrong if you never try? You don't.

Here's the simple truth: we never meet the right people at the wrong time. If we do, they're probably the wrong people. Why? You are telling me that if you meet someone and fall in love but it's not the right time in your life to have a relationship that you are just going to let them go? What if they meet someone else? The odds of them waiting around for you to be ready for a relationship are slim to none. If you meet someone who is the right one you won't question if it's the right time. I'm not really sure if there is only one "right" person out there for you. But, if there is and if they are the right person it is always the right time.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
