My Wedding Dress Ideas Are More Concrete Than My Career Ideas

My friend reminded me today just how close we are to graduation. We'll be seniors in college and will soon have to figure out what we're doing with the rest of our lives, or at least what we'll be doing for the next few years. I'm not going to lie, this is a terrifying thought.

When you're a kid, you always dream of being this or that. I wanted to be an actress or a singer, then I wanted to work behind the scenes of movies, then I wanted to own my own bakery, and now? Now that it's less than a year away? I have no idea.

I ended up choosing to study business at a four-year college after the whole performing arts thing didn't really work out. I don't regret that decision, but now I'm left not knowing what to do. The furthest I've gotten is knowing what I don't want to do, which I guess is a good start.

Funnily enough, I already have such concrete ideas about what I want my wedding dress to look like. It'll likely change, as it already has from when I was younger, but some aspects have stayed constant. I am currently single, currently not looking for any type of relationship. I am graduating in less than a year. Think I've got my priorities mixed up? Ohhhh yeah.

How is it that I can decide on something so trivial, but when it comes to what I want to do, where I want to work for possibly the rest of my life, I'm so indecisive?

Yeah, I'll be graduating college when I'm twenty-one, but that doesn't mean I have to have everything all figured out. I'll still be so young. I'll still have so much time to try things out and see where life takes me.

I'm trying not to stress too much about it, and if you find yourself in a similar situation to mine, don't freak out. Try to relax. As one of my favorite movies says, "everything happens." Everything will happen as it needs to, so just take life one day at a time and see where that leads 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.

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.
