How You Know You're An Indecisive Person
Sayur Wortel

To the person who can't make up their mind, there comes a point in our lives where we hit a crossing. The things we thought were mediocre task come around again and you begin to notice they were actually stairs to success.

Sometimes it is a part of life, a new transition you are meant to take. Other times it might be a serious of decisions that have led you to this point. Either way the same feeling is always there. The empty pit in your stomach and sweaty palms. You begin to question when and how you got yourself into this situation. For any indecisive person making a decision is one of the most grueling processes of one's life.

Most people who hate change usually put it off until the last minute. Then when the deciding hour comes it becomes a war between your heart and mind. What usually happens, especially when making a big decision, the heart and mind have two different answers. The heart says, "This will make you happy." But your mind interferes to say, "This is the more logical decision." That is when a decision has to be made on whether to follow one's heart or to follow one's mind. As a child we are often told to pray about it and the answer will come but in those hours it feels as if God's message is stuck in Austin traffic. So in the mean time you just wait...... No you don't. You actually subdue yourself to the downward spiral you think your life is going in because you can't make a decision.

At some point you decide to make a pro and con list. While you do that it seems like both lists contradict the other. As a indecisive person you decide that by some way your list has been compromised and decide to chuck the worthless wad in the garbage. Then you start to do the worst thing you could possibly do, ask for advice.

People usually say this is good but that's a load of crap. Each person has an opinion and the more people you ask the more responses you get. Each person will tell you their pick and their reasoning behind it and you'll realize you're screwed. That's because as an indecisive person not only do you have to make a decision, now. But now you have to decide on which people's advice you should actually take to solve the decision you already can't solve. At this point you are probably so overwhelmed that you just take a nap, you deserve a nap. Then you wake up and start to weigh them again. Suddenly it just becomes clear as if your decision was always staring you square in the eyes. That's when you know you've found a decision that is best for you.

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.

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.
