Whats Meant To Be Will Be...

Sometimes in life, things don’t always go as planned. Society, myself included, has this idea of a “life plan” that we all came up with when we were twelve. Graduate high school with the kids you have been with forever, go to the college you have wanted to go to since you were little and live it up with your new besties, get a great job in the city and move in with your college friends, meet the man of your dreams at a bar one night after work, get married- a black tie downtown Boston, have 5 kids- 2 boys and 3 girls and enjoy the rest of your life with your beautiful family and friends.

Many at times it doesn’t go as planned, maybe you don’t graduate college as soon as you had planned or you meet the right guy at the wrong time. These are all things that you have to either accept and move on from or take as a blessing and run with. It is not always the "bad timing" that we think it is, everything happens for a reason and even though it might not be the vision you had, it is now part of your journey through life.

Whether you choose to scrap the plan and take what God gave to you or push it off to a later date, you cant mess with fate. If its meant to be it will be. Life is going to throw you many curve balls and how to react to them is what matters in the long run.

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
