Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe In This Thing Called Life

If you just allow yourself to not look at others differently, try to see them for who they really are.

Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe In This Thing Called Life
Valerie McPherson

Let me start off by saying that I might be getting a little emotional and I haven't even begun the actual article itself. That's what happens when a good part in a new book that you're reading strikes a chord with your own life.

I have been reading this book called Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis. And in this book, she talks about how we need to not be so judgemental and be open to forming new friendships and relationships. This really hit home with me as I was reading this part because I have been blessed with such a supportive group of men and women in this Odyssey community.

My own Odyssey team inspires me daily and it makes me so happy when they are in our group me talking to each other even when I'm not on there. There is no judgment within our little tribe or family as I would like to call them. There is not a day that goes by that there isn't something said in our group that isn't crazy, but we all accept the craziness for what it is.

The craziness allows me to relate to them and get to know them. If they are more open with me, I am going to be 100 times more open to them. I love giving them compliments and try to give them daily, which Rachel also talks about in the book. I don't know what I'd do without my team!

My message for all of you reading this is to not judge others. You will then find your tribe if you aren't busy judging by putting out on social media your feelings about so and so. It might not happen overnight, but it will happen if you just allow yourself to not look at others differently, try to see them for who they really are by representing happy/positive vibes.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
