So You're Not Perfect

It's ok! Everyone has flaws. Look for the good and accept them.

So You're Not Perfect
millo.co

No matter what, everyone is good at some things and not so good at others. Even if someone seems like a perfect homemaker/worker/mom, everyone makes mistakes. Here's some news; it's OK. As P!nk says, so what, you're still a rock star.

1. You're not a good cook.

That's okay. Cooking isn't second nature to a lot of people. It involves learning through practice. Maybe you need to add extra spices or tweak the recipe a little. As long as you're making sure you fully cook the meat and eggs, I can promise you won't kill anyone (you should always double check for food allergies.) Even if you still have a hard time, sticking to more basic, fresh food recipes can be very healthy and your family and friends will appreciate them.

2. You lose your temper.

It always happens to everyone sooner or later. The important thing is to train yourself to refrain from saying hurtful things. It's harder to take back what you said because nobody can read your mind to know if you really meant it. Whenever possible, just try to leave a situation when you feel the steam start to come out of your ears. If you do say something hurtful, you just have to prove how sorry you are through actions more so than words. All wounds heal in time.

3. You procrastinate

It's hard not to in our fast-paced, media filled society. Just going through a day of work and chores can be incredibly exhausting. Some people work best under stress; just make sure you don't do it all the time because constant stress is very unhealthy.

4. You have a bad habit of talking about people

I think somewhere in our genetic code we find a need to talk about others. Even when I consciously tell myself not to, sometimes I can't help it. It's better to vent and let off steam. Just don't do it all the time. It's not worth tarnishing your reputation just to feed your ego. You can also follow my rule: any time you say something somewhat negative about someone, try to follow it with a compliment.

5. You're socially awkward sometimes

Just embrace it! Even talk show hosts and celebrities who talk for a living get flustered. Be thankful you're not always on camera. When you feel uncomfortable, just try to be yourself as much as you can. It's no use making yourself more uncomfortable, right?

6. You do bad on pressure

Like my mom and grandma always taught me, life is a never-ending learning adventure. You're not expected to know everything but you are expected to learn and try to do better next time. Just remember whatever the situation is, think of the people it can affect first. The quickest solution isn't always best.


No matter what, nobody is perfect. It's being imperfect that makes us all alike, and what we're imperfect at that makes us each unique. Everyone excels at different things and gets to shine in their own way.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
