Why I Can Be Anything

It may be difficult, but it is not impossible.

Why I Can Be Anything
Empowermint Blog

Remember when you were a little kid, and everyday you would imagine yourself to be something different from the last? I remember that one day I would imagine myself as a doctor, then the next as a rock star. I had even tried to be a chef one day. My family encouraged me to play pretend because they knew that one day it would not be pretend anymore. However, now that I am a young adult, deciding on what I want to be has become difficult. I thought I wanted to be a writer. I still do, but I do not want it to stop there.

Out of nowhere I have come to the realization that I have a passion for cooking. It was always a hobby of mine. You could find me sitting on my phone for hours looking at Tastemade videos on Facebook. I did not know that I could actually become a chef, let alone go to school and study the art of food. This confused me. My entire life I have been set on becoming a writer, and once I announced that I want to go into culinary school the first thing people ask is: "How are you going to write?," "You won't have time to write books." I asked them, "Why can't I do both?"

There is this misconception that once you pick a career, you can only do that one career because it is impossible to do more than one. It may be difficult, but it is not impossible.

I love food and I love writing. So, with long consideration and research, I have come to the decision of me becoming a food blogger/journalist.

People should not be limited to just one career. If you are passionate about something, go out and experience it and achieve it. Do not let people stop you from doing what you want to do just because it is not normal.

You can be anything you want because you can achieve anything.

I do not want to be in my fifties regretting that I did not open up that restaurant I always dreamed about and you should not either.

I'm going to become a food blogger and I'm going to be the best food blogger that this world has ever seen. Why? Because I can, and I will.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
