4 Thoughts I Had While Playing Golf

I feel like everyone (especially the boys) is developing a golf addiction. Since there is a lack of things to do since the pandemic hit, I decided I would try golf. I didn't start out with 18 holes, my first day on the green was spent at the driving range. I went through buckets of balls trying really hard to perfect my swing. These were the thoughts I had during the process.

Is this like Top Golf?

I've visited Top Golf many times in the past. Essentially a glorified driving range. The difference is that Top Golf is easy and fun. You sit around with your friends and when it's your turn you swing for the targets. Not so much the same with the regular driving range.

Does my golf outfit look stupid?

I came to the range decked out in my best golf outfit. A pleated white golf skirt and a maroon tank top. Too bad I didn't have a visor or a Titleist hat. I'm pretty sure anyone who saw my outfit only thought I was there to take Instagram pictures.

How am I supposed to swing?

Boy did I struggle with this one. So. Many. Questions.

Do I look at the ball or not?

How do I hold the club?

Do I follow through with my swing?

Do I move my feet or keep them on the ground?

Needless to say I will be perfecting my swing for a while.

Can my old batting glove suffice as a golf glove?

This one I can answer myself.

No, batting gloves will not suffice. I still got blisters.

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.

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.
