Do you know who you really are?

Have you ever changed as a person even if it was for a brief amount of time? We all have there's no denying it. Between friends to family, trends, to being at work or school, there is always something going on around us that will compete with who we really are.

It doesn't just affect teenagers or little kids. This issue affects everyone! You could be the nicest sweetest person in the whole entire world, but when someone is acting mean towards your kindness or your goofy personality, you shut down and just don't say anything to anyone. If you are this person that tries to change others let me give you a piece of advice. Get a life of your own!

People are not all made the same. Some are really goofy others are laid back. Some talk a lot others are quiet. Some people want everything to be about them and if it's not then they aren't happy. These people are usually the ones that try to change someone the most when they realize that they are liked more, going to go farther in life, or maybe just nicer and a better friend. These are the people we can't worry about because one day they'll realize that they are the ones that need to change not the other person.

During my senior, year we had to turn in a quote that best fits us as a person for our yearbook. Some people put something funny others put something inappropriate, while there were those who put in bible verses. I struggled with finding what my quote was going to be I thought and thought and thought. I read some of the other people's quotes and was shocked to read that they had the audacity to chose something inappropriate. These quotes showed who we were individually that made up the senior class and they choose something inappropriate.

I was more than a high school senior, I was more than a band member, more than a athlete, more than a daughter, etc. I am a Christian, and I wanted my senior quote to reflect me. How you talk, present yourself, even how you act reflects on how people see you. Do you present yourself as a Christian or do people think your just another person of the world? If you had to chose a quote what would yours be? When people read it would they laugh because they know that it wasn't who you were at the time? Have you ever heard of the phrase you are what you eat well you are who you present yourself to others. There's no hiding who you really are. Fake it till you make it? People can see right through your fakeness and see the real you! So who is the real 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.
