The Thought Is What Counts

It’s that time of the year where presents are being bought, memories are being made, and amazing food is being prepared and cooked. It’s Christmas time! Although, it isn’t the presents that makes the holiday great, it’s the time spent together with your family and friends. It’s great to watch children open their presents that Santa left for them, but those should be the presents that do not cost much. Just the simple things. Santa is a character that was made so all children could get something for Christmas, nothing expensive, just little things. The more expensive presents should come from you.

This holiday season may not be great for all people. Some people may not have a huge Christmas like others. For a present, someone may just give you a card. Don’t be mad about it, that may be all they could afford right now. It is best to appreciate the thought that they were thinking about you during the holiday. A child may give you something that they made, to them that’s a gift worth giving and they want to give it to you. That is their way of giving something, they know that you deserve more, but sometimes they can’t afford it.

If you receive a small present, just be thankful. It is the thought that counts. A person was thinking about you this holiday season, even though it is something small. Most of the time, something small means the most to people. Everyone wants to give someone the world because they deserve it, but sometimes it is definitely a hard thing to do. A card can also mean a lot to a person, it may have memorable moments written inside of it. Everything has worth, no matter size, cost, brand, etc. The thought is definitely what counts.

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.

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.
