20 Questions To Understand Someone Better

How well do you really know someone? Questions on the daily are mostly just "How are you?" or "What's up?" "Not Much, You?". Let's break the ice between knowing someone and connecting with someone. Let's create more than a one dimensional relationship. Instead of just getting to know someone, understand them. Ask some questions that aren't just skin deep. Ask them the things they want to talk about. Choose to have a real conversation.

1. Are you scared to fall in love?

2. All is fair in love and war, true or false?

3. What is the biggest regret you hold?

4. Who do you cherish and why?

5. What is your lifetime dream?

6. Are you following your dreams or just a paved path?

7. What is something that has defined you as a person?

8. What has hurt you the most?

9. What is your happiest memory?

10. What inspires you?

11. If you could have a conversation with anyone alive or late who would it be and why?

12. What city would you move to right now if you could?

13. What brings you true peace?

14. What is your biggest insecurity?

15. What is your favorite quality about yourself?

16. What culture would you want to be apart of and why?

17. You have a flight and you are in the airport. Where are you going?

18. Who are you with?

19. What keeps you up at night?

20. What was your first idea of love?

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.

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.
