The Twists And Turns Of Life

A look at my internal argument over only making O Team. No Offense to anyone on O Team.

The Twists And Turns Of Life

Recently I applied to be a Resident Assistant, Peer Mentor, and just in case O Team. Well I didn't get Resident Assistant (second time in a row) or Peer Mentor. So I guess I'm stuck with O Team. I'm not quite sure if I am happy yet I love the people who I have met there. I am just not self confident yet that I will do a good job or that this is what God had in store for me because hello I have a ton of leadership experience and there is no way I would just get O Team. Also hello people I am not cut out for O Team I am so below how O Team should be. I am shy. I don't have a natural woo and no I'm not that good an actor who can fake it. So yeah I can't fake it until I make it. Honestly I will fail I know I will that's why I wanted to be a Peer Mentor or an RA because those positions don't require an excessive amount of woo. So this could be the most intense acting job there is and I know that I cannot do it. Also I kind of feel betrayed by those that took notes on me. I showed that I was more than just O Team and I know it. But hey maybe this is because I was born on the Ides of March that people who think that I would be a great leader actually don't think that I will be. But maybe this is God's plan. So maybe I will now fail. I just kind of wish that I was more than just O Team because O Team only gets one week to be leaders and nothing else. I am happy with the people. I am happy with the backpack. But I am not happy that my window feels like it's half-closed if that. Either way I need to take this a day at a time and learn how to be happy with this leadership experience that I was given even though it will be hard. It's basically asking someone who doesn't like chocolate to be happy with you giving them something that is nothing but chocolate to eat. So if you are at my daycare you take a no-thank-you bite and move on. So yeah trying not to quit but also trying to not move on disappointed. But hey maybe my luck will change. Maybe something good is going to happen next.

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.
