Your Life Is Your Fault

The world does not owe you anything.

Your Life Is Your Fault

The sooner you realize that the world and those who comprise it do not owe you a single ounce of pity, charity, or material objects, then the sooner you liberate yourself from your own self-created atrocities.

Your life is your fault.
You acquire the ability to either generate a better or worse life for yourself through the instinctive choices you make on a daily, hourly, and minutely basis. On whichever end of the spectrum, YOU possess the power to change your life however you see fit.

Holding the expectation that others around you are fully responsible for the betterment of your life is absolutely selfish. Yes, external expectations are catastrophically selfish acts, especially when it encompasses your personal responsibility.

Expecting someone else to "fix" the issues that pervade your life is setting you up for failure.
Expecting someone else to be responsible for the outcome of your life is inherently wrong.
Expecting someone else to alter your life only solidifies your self-fulfilling prophecy and therefore, creates insurmountable personal disappointments.

No one is responsible for your life or for any of the failures that consequently emanate from it. Take personal responsibility for your life, including both the good and bad circumstances that permeate it.

Work harder towards the life you believe you deserve. And stop at nothing to attain said life.

The choice is pretty clear and the choice is yours. Only you will be held accountable if your individual life does not produce the results you had hoped it would.

Your life is your fault. No one else's.

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.
