11 Things You Know To Be True If Your Name Is Abby With A 'Y'
Venice Buhain

The name, Abby, is one of the most common names in America. Odds are, you probably know more than one because it's something you just can't simply escape from. So, if your is Abby and you spell it the correct way, you can probably relate to more than one of these truths:

Your name is not Abbie or Abbey. 

I don't spell my name the wrong way.

You've probably never had your name spelled wrong on a Starbucks cup. 

Because everyone knows Abby with a Y is the way to spell it.

Yes, Abby is short for Abigail. 

Get over it.

You were almost always at the front of the line in elementary school if your teacher categorized you by your first name. 

By far, the best perk.

Making acrostics with your name was a piece of cake. 

It's only four letters after all.

You've probably had the nickname Abby-Cadabby.

Just like the Sesame Street character.

You've also probably been called "Abbs" at more than one point in your life.

Probably my least favorite, not gonna lie.

There's always been more than one Abby in your class/grade. 

So you were called upon by your first name and last initial.

You've probably gotten into an argument with other Abby's about who spells their name the correct way. 

Even though you know you're always right.

 You agree with the urban dictionary definition of your name on a whole new level. 

If this isn't me....

 Once again, it's Abby with a y, not "ie" or "ey." 

Just to reiterate.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
