Sure, nobody's perfect. I mean, Hannah Montana wouldn't have made a song about it if it wasn't true.

But there comes a time in everyone's lives where they start to question everything they do. They wonder if the choices they are making are on the right path. This is all a part of growing up.

We've all been in that position several times. It isn't just a sign of mental illness, it's a common thought for everyone. You can't predict the future so you can't see how your choices will affect it. No matter how big or small the situation, this can be very stressful and can cause us to overthink our actions. But is the overthinking really worth it in the end?

For all you that continuously question whether you're making the right decision or not, it's time to break the habit. You can't decide the rewards or consequences of your actions, so you can't determine them ahead of time. Sure, it's good to brainstorm how you or others may react to your actions, but it's best not to dwell on that one thing.

Changing your thinking means changing your mindset. This includes turning your negative talk positive. It means destroying your self-destructive tendencies and replacing them with more inspirational ones. It's turning "This is the wrong thing to do" into "I can't wait to see how this turns out", and turning "I probably shouldn't" into "I'll try it and see what happens". It's all about coming out of your comfort zone.

Decision making isn't easy, but it's time for us as humans to stop the negative doubts that could possibly come from the outcomes of our actions. This has done nothing but hold us back from our full potential.

If you think you're doing everything wrong, keep in mind that taking a chance and failing is a part of growing up. No decision is a wrong decision, just a life lesson.

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.

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.
