The Start of Something New

I'm just living my life day by day.

The Start of Something New

When I was little, if someone had told me that life goes by in a blink of an eye, I would have not believed them. I'm 22 years old now, and let me tell you all; that old saying is very real. Ever since I could remember, I always got excited of the thought of graduating from college, getting my dream job of working at a top PR firm and marrying the man of dreams in Atlanta, Georgia in the perfect house and not worry about a single thing at all, such as being in debt. Fast forward to my life as of right now, I could not tell you where my life could be leading to.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

May 13, 2017, I will be graduating from college, with a degree in Communication Studies, and just like most students my age, I am in debt and I have no idea where my life is going to take me for my future occupation in PR. I had hoped by this time of my senior year, I would already have had multiple job offers, and so far I have had none. At this point, you may think that I am worried or disappointed in myself because I had dreams of having the perfect American dream by now. Well, to answer your question, I am absolutely not worried at all.

I may not be where I had wanted be, but I know that each day I am getting closer to where I am supposed to be. I am going to keep working hard to accomplish my dreams and by doing that, I will continue to get more experience in my field of study, network with others, and most importantly, keep positive. It's okay if everything is not going perfectly. That's life. Day by day, I am going to put every single worry that I have into God's hands. I know that he has a plan for me, so I just have to sit back, relax, and live in the moment.

At this time of my life, this is the start of something new. I can not continue to keep my head down because things are not going the way I want it to be. I know that at this point, every single struggle that I have, can only go up from here. In the upcoming years, I will work in one of the top PR firms in the nation, and that is when you will know that my dreams came true by working hard and having God, my family and friends by my side.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
