When in Doubt, Book a Flight

You're not getting any younger or any less busy so why not just go?

When in Doubt, Book a Flight

This day and age, it seems like we're growing up faster, becoming more independent sooner (or so we might think). It seems like life keeps throwing us projects and taking away the hours in a day. In a fast paced world, it's not hard to realize that sometimes all you need is a break.

I'm sure we've all made an imaginary bucket list, that holds a permanent place in our minds, detailing all the places we'd love to see. So, why not pick one? You're not getting any younger or any less busy so why not just go?

Take a friend, maybe it's someone you'd like to get closer with or maybe it's someone you know like that back of your hand. Regardless of who you take with you, just go!

If you haven't noticed by now, there isn't any time left for feeling sorry for yourself. If you're uncertain about something and can't seem to shake that feeling, have you ever thought that maybe getting out of the environment you're in 24/7 might help?

Allow the whole process of the trip to push you out of the funk and into a state of awe. A state where you can't believe the world is really this beautiful. Take a ton of pictures from your plane window. Hold a conversation with your Uber driver. Thank the maids who make your hotel bed every morning. Eat like a local. Eat like a tourist.

Uprooting yourself- even if only for a week- allows you to throw out that uncertainty so that you have more room in your mind and heart to soak up all the new adventures awaiting your arrival. You deserve some fun, so what are you waiting for? Do one thing everyday that scares you, right?

Whatever you do and wherever you go, do it passionately. When in doubt, book a flight.

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.
