Very so often we worry too much about what about what people think or how they feel about us. We need to learn to recognize that we are who we are and everybody else just has to respect that. Here are few things you should never have to apologize for:


1. For Saying "NO"

And not having to explain yourself!


2. For Being Who You Are

Diversity is a beautiful thing. Once you learn to love what makes you different, and totally owning it, you have nothing to apologize for!


3. For Having An Opinion

Whether the majority of people agree with you or not, kudos to you for standing your grounds!


4. For Having High Standards

And don't let anyone make you believe that your standards are too high; if they want to get on your level, they'll have to climb!


5. For Your Body

Because in all it's flaws and all it's glory, it's yours and you love it!


6. For Standing Up For Yourself


7. For Killing it At School and/or Work

You never have to apologize for your success and never let anyone hold you back!

8. For Expressing Your Emotions

Because we're all human and we all have those moments.

9. For Cutting-off Negative People

If something isn't good for you, let it go! You owe no apologies for brightening up your life and moving forward!


10. For Asking For Help

Because if you're too full of pride to ask for help when you need it, your growth is stalled and so you should never have to apologize for not knowing everything!


11. For Your Confidence!

Because only you know how hard it has taken you to get this far in standing tall and believing in yourself. If someone decides to take your self-pride and confidence as aggression, let it be their problem!

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.
