15 Things We Can't Live Without
Those of Rose

Let's say that homo sapiens came from apes, crazy idea..I know but just go with it. That would mean that we are animals, you know, creatures! Which would make me assume that we have instincts and talents. Things that would allow for the survival of the fittest. But we have traveled very far from our ape-man roots and I think on Doomsday without these essential keys of life, no one will make it! Human kind as it is known by hopefully only human kind, will be lost. Without these 15 things, it's over. No one could possibly survive, no matter their survival instincts. These are 15 things that we cannot live without and if you don't believe me, just try to live without them.

1. Chocolate & Sweets

Chocolate when I am mad or when I am sad. Chocolate when I am happy and when I am tired. Chocolate when I am bored, chocolate all of the damn time.

2. Dogs & Pets

If you can live without that, you let me know..so I can ignore your existence.

3. Music & Media

Putting headphones on or even blasting speakers just to escape the world and the sound of my sister singing in the shower, ahhhhh we all need that.

4. Cuddles & Love

How could one survive without the essence of a cuddle?

5. Friends & Family

Someone has to be there to drink, cry and be evil with, every time.

6. Money


Let's face it, all we have to do is make enough money to not be homeless and die. Those are basically the two universal goals of life.

7. The Internet

It has been many years since we have looked to concrete slabs and cave drawings to learn information, what would survival be without Google?

8. Smartphones

To be blunt, one cannot live without their life...

9. Ice Cream

The sweet, cold churned beauty that is appropriate for all times of the day with endless options of toppings, garments and sugary attributes. Nothing can compare to the glimmering melt of ice cream and no one can live without it...unless you don't like it or are lactose intolerant in which case, nevermind.

10. Wine

Sometimes, you just gotta lean your head back and forget about some things, it also goes PERFECT with cheese, which if you hadn't heard, I like. (So sorry, inside joke).

11. Days Off


Thank you Bueller, finally, someone understands me! I had 42 absences in the 12th grade. And I am a complete nurd. So, sometimes you just have to take a day off to survive. Also, other sources of knowledge have much more interesting topics than public school..

12. Netflix

Netflix is to me as water is to Bikini Bottom.

13. Luck

Without a little luck, well, you'd probably be dead. Think of how lucky you are every day to not got through some of the traumas you see others go through, and perhaps they are not going to survive. You need some luck!

14. Inspiration

You can't survive without the motivation to survive! It'll be tough to survive the apocalypse, only the ones who truly want it will survive.

15. Day & Night

Think about never having a time to close your eyes? I would never make it without the ability to leave for a little bit.

So no, you don't need Oxygen or natural resources or water or a heart. That's a myth, these are what you really need.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
