Hey there,

I know how easy it is to just stop because everything gets extremely difficult very quickly. But it's important that you know how crucial it is that you keep going. Life is constantly changing and so are the people such as you and I living it. Things get scary, but we need to hold on tight and buckle our seat belts for the amazing roller coaster that life has yet to take us on. You've been on many rides already, some fast, some slow but nothing compared to the one you're on now. Are you afraid of heights? I am too, and that's okay because there are so many ways to conquer the fears that life has over us. It's the little things that make you smile everyday that could truly change your life for the better. Look at those aspects of your everyday routine and think about how you could do more of the things that make you happy and evolve as a person.

The things that make you happy could truly change the course of someone else's roller coaster ride. It's not going to happen over night but you're going to be motivated and excited about something coming. You're just at the boring part of the roller coaster waiting to reach the top and sometimes you'll feel stuck as if you can't move. Which everyone experiences in life due to the amount of changes that you'll feel, just like a roller coaster we go up and down but we always find our way back. Everything in your life is temporary and as horrible as it feels, it WILL pass and your roller coaster ride will continue. There may be some turbulence or drops along the way but you will find the thrill in your days and the happiness in your heart.

Think about the feeling of your heart beating as you're approaching a drop on a roller coaster. You're excited and a little bit nervous but unsure of what to expect which is sometimes the best feeling. That's how life makes us feel on a daily basis we are questioning everything yet we know something will result from our days on earth. So, reach your "roller coaster" feeling, let your mind escape it's comfort zone and do something you would never do. Take a chance, beat the odds and show yourself that you CAN and WILL do something today. You are the only person that can determine your present and future, so make every moment last and look back at this day and see how far you've come. You are operating your roller coaster so make it a little bumpy and turbulent, but end on a smooth note.

"Life is a roller coaster. There are ups; there are downs. There are hills; there are valleys, peaks, and so on."
-Martin Landau

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.
