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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
