When You're The Best Version Of You

Never stop striving to become even better.

When You're The Best Version Of You
Allura Laubert

We've been through a lot. From late nights to early mornings, we've literally seen everything together. Some days were difficult, and some easy, but each was a blessing to have.

You are me, so I know you better than anyone else. Yet I also have a lot of learning before I get to where you are. I know that wherever you are in your life right now, it is an improvement from where I am. But don't forget, never stop striving for better. I'm going to work my best to become who you are right now, but you need to try your hardest to become even better. Never settle for less, and never settle for anything other than the best version of you.

Also never forget who and what got you to where you are today. The friends, the enemies. Your family, your acquaintances. Each individual in your life has brought you to where you are today. Don't forget that no matter how big or small, negative or positive, a person was in your life, they still had a big impact on making you, you. Also never forget the situations that shaped you into who you are today. Every good grade, or bad fight, each one made you change and become better in the long run.

I know that you are a great individual. No matter where you are, or the accomplishments you have made, I know you are out there making something of your life. I want you to always hold the true you close to your heart. We are both individuals that constantly change. Yet, deep down there is a piece of us that never changes. It's that piece of us that gets excited over new experiences, that piece of us that always want to help another before yourself. Never lose that. Without that piece of you, you are not you.

Overall I'm proud of you. I'm proud of the obstacles you have passed over. I'm proud of the situations you have put yourself in and pulled yourself through. You have never ceased to amaze me, and I know you will never stop doing so. Right now I have a certain path I'm taking in my life. I don't know if you stayed on it, or went another way. No matter what you chose for us, though, I know you did what you believe would be best. Never feel ashamed for not accomplishing what you first sought out to do, after all, sometimes a path in darkness leads to the brightest destination.

Thank you for being me. And thank you for never ceasing to amaze me.

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.
