There Is Never Enough Time

It's difficult to get past your emotions and logically make the decision to make more time.

There Is Never Enough Time
Lorir Taylor

Certain moments in life have the power to take anyone by surprise. Usually those moments happen when least expected, and when there’s barely any time to devote to that moment. It can come in the form of family, work, school, personal friendships/relationships, etc. Practically anything and anyone has a chance to be this type of moment in life, and it’s difficult to determine what to do at that moment.

Maybe a family member has passed suddenly, a relationship with a significant other didn’t work out the way it was supposed to, or it could be as simple as school finals rearing their ugly head, all these types of events can lead to a moment of surprise. After that moment takes place the most difficult action comes next.

What to do next?

The emotions that take over a person’s mind, after experiencing their moment of surprise, can lead to an indecisive train of thought. It’s hard to make decisions when emotions are running high. That’s what these types of moments can do to a person. They change everything about life, and they also leave a reminder to the world. That reminder is that there never seems to be enough time.

Now that the moment has passed, emotions are dialed down, and logic has come back into the equation a lot of time has passed. That’s means that once again people reminded that there never seems to be enough time. It’s difficult to cope with such a reminder; however, I have a solution. The solution is that for someone to feel that there’s not enough time, they must put in the effort to make the time. The truth is that life will always be on the go, and even when life altering moments take some surprise, it doesn’t stop the cycle of life from moving forward.

The hard truth is that eventually everyone must move forward, and to do that, everyone must make the time to move forward. There truly is never enough time in the day. But we can’t dwell on that realization, if we do then we waste the time we have left. Once again the hard truth is simple. Put in effort to make time.

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.
