2018 will be the year.

Where everything will be clear.

No one will have to adhere to anyone because of fear.

Where people will not drear their career.

Only cheers.

People will lend their ears, when someone may be close to tears.

Where teachers will create an atmosphere which will start children’s gears.

Violence will disappear.

Spare time will be used to volunteer.

No one will interfere with the life of others.

Where memories can count as souvenirs.

There will be no more pollution destroying our hemisphere.

Companies will look past simply being profiteers.

Children will be inspired to become pioneers or even engineers.

Saying “I love you” will finally be sincere.

Pressure to drink beer will not be done by peers.

Storms and illnesses will not be severe.

Miracles will appear.

The only thing dividing countries will be their frontiers.

Many will look forward to their favorite movie premiers.

Some will persevere knowing their hard work paying off is near.

Regrets are all left in the rear.

Newspapers and news channels will finally stop smearing reputations.

More letters will be written starting with “Dear…”

Cars will steer their own wheels.

People of different age, race, and gender will be seen as compeers.

Despite parties, Congress will cohere.

Christmas will focus on the magic of Santa and his reindeer.

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.

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.
