For The Girl In Her Late Teens Or Early 20s With NO IDEA What She Is Doing

This one is for you. BTW, I have no idea what I'm doing either.

For The Girl In Her Late Teens Or Early 20s With NO IDEA What She Is Doing
Stocksnap

I'm 22 years old, soon to be 23 (ugh), and I literally have no idea what I am doing - ever. I've probably asked my self what the hell I'm doing every day for the past five years. Sometimes I think I'm a teenager stuck in an adult's body (which is very inconvenient when it comes to paying bills and being self-sufficient). When it comes to life, I wish I knew how to do these things a little better...

Making decisions.

Is it just me or is every decision you make in your late teens/early 20's going to dramatically affect your future? Sometimes I am SUPER confident with decisions. Other times it takes me questioning myself 24/7, making a pros and cons list, asking everyone I know for their advice, procrastination, and seven cups of coffee (and/or wine) to make a decision that I feel even SLIGHTLY confident about.

Keeping a steady healthy diet.

I'll eat super healthy for about three days and then I'll see someone eating pizza and somehow convince myself that I "have to have it." Again, what the hell am I doing?

Paying bills.

Does this even need to be explained? I am usually OKAY with paying bills, but there's always those few times where my parents have to basically force me to write the check.

Exercising Regularly.

Okay, I do know how to exercise, I just don't ever want to do it.

Grocery Shopping.

Throwback to the time I bought cabbage instead of a head of lettuce. Seriously, grocery shopping is hell. It was so much easier when my parents did all the shopping.

HOW do our parents make it look so easy? I am sure by the time I am my mom's age I will have it together (or at least I'm REALLY hoping), but for now, my best advice to those in the same boat as me... Be patient. Being told to be patient is SO ANNOYING, because patience means time, and we want our shit together right now! Enjoy your time being young, and if you want that piece of pizza instead of a salad... GO FOR IT!

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
