'Uptown Girls' Taught Me To Live My Life For Myself

Do you remember when you were a child and you had all sorts of dreams? Do you look back and think to yourself and realize some of those dreams are crazy? Like the old sang goes there is no such thing as a stupid question, well there's no such thing as a stupid dream.

Sometimes life needs to get crazy and chaotic for us to find our path. The movie 'Uptown Girls' teaches us this great moral lesson between two different people. This movie is a classic between two different characters. The characters Molly and Ray are at different stages in their life. Opposites I would say. The eight-year-old Ray acts like a sophisticated adult, while the twenty-two-year-old Molly acts like an eight-year-old. Along the way Ray finally budges and learns that she needs to break free and not to be so uptight.

No matter how different our paths are in life we can find friendship and we can build each other up.

To be successful in life does not mean having money and being rich. Being successful is reaching our dreams, big or small. In the words of Rachel Hollis other people's opinions don't matter. Live your life you don't have to have other people's permission to live out your life. We live in fear and thinking that we need permission to live out our dreams. The truth is we don't. We will learn that the people that stick by us will support us and the ones who don't will slowly drift away. We need more people in our life that encourage us and keeps our motivation going.

That is what this movie teaches us. It teaches us that we may want a lot of things in life like money and love, but we need to work on ourselves first.

Everything starts with a dream.

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.

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.
