Getting Lost Entering Adulthood

Where did she go?

Why haven't I been online? Well, the answer is quite simple... it's life. What really happened is that I was super busy with finishing school early, and really just spending time with my family and the new man in my life, but we'll save that for another article.

When you finish high school and turn 18 right afterward, you really have no obligation to be anywhere, at all. It is crazy how much I've learned from having this much time on my hands. I can sit around all day and do nothing or I can be completely productive and really try to better myself or finish any other goal I may have. One thing that I think everyone has always wanted to do, but may have not had the proper tools to do so, is make a change. Who wouldn't want to make a change in someone else's life or your own? Well, what I planned to do is a lot of journaling and having a lot of part time jobs -- who knows, I might go crazy and get three!

What is it like to become an adult? I don't really know, but I do know that I am really scared of what the future holds for me, but I plan to keep my faith in God and allow him to lead, guide, and direct me in the path he wants me to go. Hopefully, I will have a strong hand in helping others and creating a great place to live for my future family. We'll see.

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.
