Abby Sannizzro

More often than not we are constantly in a rush. We plan every last detail, worry about the future, and forget to live in the moment and enjoy life as it is. Here are 20 things you most definitely shouldn’t rush. If you catch yourself forgetting this and flying through your day, take a moment to stop and enjoy one of these 20 things.

  1. Picking the right college to attend
  2. Picking a college roommate
  3. Eating dinner with your family
  4. Going on a girl’s night out
  5. Cuddling with your dog before bed
  6. Shopping with your mom
  7. Taking a bubble bath
  8. Reading a favorite book
  9. Enjoying a cup of coffee
  10. Sitting outside and admiring the sky when it’s all lit up with stars
  11. Having a heart to heart with your best friends in your dorm room
  12. Mourning the loss of someone you loved
  13. Going for a walk on your own

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.

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.
