What You Choose As Your Superpower May Say A Lot About Your Fears And Dreams

One of my favorite questions to ask kids is about their superpower. To have them create and imagine a world that they could be in control of. I think it’s a great way to gain some insight on their likes/dislikes and on their personality. I think the same could hold true for adults. Now, I'm asking you. "If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?"

I think lots of children base their powers off of ideas of adventure and hope, whereas adults might base their power on fear and preventing some sort of reality.

For me, I would love to be able to rewind/fast forward time. I would fast forward to the highlights of my life, just to show myself that everything will work out in the future and rewind it to the best parts of the past.

If I could go back in time, I would go back to the times where my grandparents were all alive, in better health and full of energy. I would maybe try to show and tell my family more often how much I love them.

I would fast forward to watch my best friends get married, see my brother grow up and look at a sneak peak of the person I will become.

Even at the age of 20, there are moments in my life I wish I could take back or change. I feel like being able to go back in time would provide me with more insight and help me appreciate and relive some of the best moments.

The nights we have the least expectations for seeming to turn out to be the most memorable times. Sometimes I wish I could hold onto those moments for just a little longer.

One of my favorite memories of my childhood was growing up around my grandparents. I would give so much to just hold my pop pops hand one more time and hear his voice.

Time really flies by and it is hard for me to watch the strong people I love move into nursing homes and have unexpected hospital visits. One of my biggest fears is losing the ones I love the most.

Yes, this is life and death are not preventable, but if I had a superpower I would play around with time and experience the little moments just a little longer.

I think that your answer can show a lot of insight into your fears and dreams. So think about it, when you have a moment to spare.

Challenge yourself, what do you want most and why? How could having this power help you? Is there anything you can do that can gift you with something similar to this? For me, I need to treasure the moments and memories I do have.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
