Individuality Matters

It's fun not listening to society.

Individuality Matters

I hate that society in this day in age that judges everyone for the choices they make. People shouldn't care how you dress, who you love, your profession, or where you live. It's all of your decisions to make you happy.

It is okay to be selfish and seek happiness for yourself.

I cannot wait to be an elementary teacher and help shape the minds of the future of America. People tell me all the time I will not like it and I won't make a lot of money- it's not about the money to me, it's about the look on the kids faces when they finally understand a math problem or can tell me the life cycle of a tadpole. I love teaching and I have already experienced a whole year of it, only making me more excited to do it for the rest of my life.

Wear what you want- that's how each and every one of us express ourselves (even though its mostly sweatpants and PJ's). Yes, some of us may go out in sweatpants and yogas literally everywhere, but hey, at least we're comfy.

More importantly- love whoever you want to love. Wherever your heart takes you and leads you to. Do not let family members or friends judge you for who you fall in love with, because when it comes down to it-- you're the one who is going to be spending all the time with them.

Not everyone is going to understand you and be able to understand what you do or why you do it, but be your own person and seek your own happiness. Do not let anyone ever tell you you're wrong.

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.
