I Want To Be Happy With Myself

Sometimes I don't like who I am but I want to change that.

I Want To Be Happy With Myself

I am not a confident person. Never have been. I'm really insecure. I don't know where it stems from. Maybe from me being bullied in my past. I don't know really. I've never been that type of person who could openly talk about their feelings. I bottle them up inside and never speak about them until I explode or get even more upset. I've never been the type of person to tell a guy how I felt about them. Nope. Never. I work up the courage and then I chicken out. I'm not even confident enough to talk to random people to make friends. I'm too shy. I think it all comes down to my insecurities.

I don't really know where it comes from. I've been hurt so much from people who say they care about me. I've always felt that I wasn' good enough. Or I wasn't pretty enough. And I don't just say it so I can get attention. I genuinely feel this way. Sometimes I feel insignificant. It's something I have to learn to deal with it. I won't say I'll have to learn to get over it. I'll probably won't ever get over it. I don't want to anyway. My insecurities. My shyness. My non-confidence. It's all a part of me. It makes me who I am. Do I like that sometimes I think the worst of myself? No. But I wouldn't change myself one bit. I wish I was a confident person. But I can't change who I am. I love who I am. And eventually, I'll love myself completely. It's going to take me some time. I know that. I just can't rush it.

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.
