Trust Who You Are

Do not let the outside world define your limitations

Trust Who You Are

Trust yourself even in the most difficult times. I find great comfort in being able to trust myself and who I am, regardless of what may be happening in my environment. It does not matter who you are or where you come from. Your own individuality is beautiful and offers diversity in the world. Your unique story matters. Trust yourself and your abilities, do not let others define your limitations, because you are the only author to your story. You can stretch, bend, flex, and contort your mind toward whatever you feel is the correct path for you, and trust that your efforts are benefiting your own well being.

In a world full of conformity, it is certainly difficult to trust yourself and your abilities. It is difficult to resist the pull to uniformity, but doing so gives great satisfaction. Resisting the rest of the world's pressures to be one with external dullness is an act of great strength. You find yourself free from the evils of self doubt emitted by the external environment, and suddenly, you are floating in self appreciation. You are no longer bound by the hackneyed expectations of the outside world.

To feel jealousy for what others have is denying your own self greatness. Feeling jealousy takes your mind to a dark place; a place full of self destruction and evil. Remember that you are special, only if you resist the temptation to the dark side. Just trust yourself. Trust who you are, trust your innate abilities, trust your mind, and trust your heart. You provide the world with your own individuality, which is more than enough. Do not try to look for the greatness you think you lack but already possess in someone else. Just look deep enough within yourself.

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.
