Future career goals that actually matter.

When I Grow Up, I Want To Be Everything
aquaticdreamsdiving.com

What do you want to be when you grow up? What exactly are you going to do with that major?

When I was seven, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I was going to be a part-time soccer player, part-time artist. In fourth grade I wanted to be a fourth grade teacher-- because I just really loved the fourth grade. At fourteen I wanted to be a doctor, and at seventeen I wanted to own my own business.

But now my game plan has changed. I’m just going to do it all. The possibilities are endless when you don’t have to choose.

1. Tour guide for the National Spy Museum.

2. Waitress at a French coffee shop.

3. Extra in a movie.

4. Restaurant critic who focuses only on desserts.

5. Member of the Secret Service.

6. B&B owner out in the countryside.

7. The person who names storms.

8. Professional scrapbooker.

9. Florist who only sells sunflowers.

10. Chocolatier.

11. Adam Levine’s tour manager.

12. Receptionist at a five-star hotel.

13. Stay-at-home dog mom.

14. Ranger at a National Park.

15. Traveling weatherman.

16. A beekeeper.

17. Coffee mug designer.

18. Zamboni driver.

19. Scuba diving teacher.

20. Dog musher.

21. West Coast house sitter.

22. Inventor of the next best seasonal donut (think a donut that gains as much hype as the PSL).

23. High-end mixologist.

24. Cake-decorator.

25. Creator of a music festival.

26. Doggy daycare owner.

27. Finger painter who creates million dollar masterpieces.

28. Online travel blogger.

29. Caricature artist.

30. Hot air balloon driver (aka ballooner).

... plus anything and everything else under the sun.

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.

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.
