1. You are with your family all day!

I love being able to see my family. Even if some of my family members are out of town, they get the opportunity to come to where I am, and I get the opportunity to be with them! Being with family on an incredible holiday is always a gift.

2. The food is to die for.

Fourth of July always reminds me of amazing food. My favorite meal is a cheeseburger and french fries, and my family always has this on the 4th! Not to mention the pigs-in-blankets, and watermelon.

3. The parades are the best out of any holiday!

The best parades are on the 4th of July. There is so much patriotic energy, and everyone is dressed in red, white, and blue. I am a very passionate individual, and being surrounded by others who are passionate about their country always makes me feel at home.

4. The day is alway filled with fun activities.

Whether you spend your 4th of July swimming in the ocean or tossing a football in the backyard, the 4th of July is always filled with fun. My family and I are always doing something to celebrate the United States of America and everything we are thankful for.

5. THE FIREWORKS!

The fireworks are always one of my favorite parts of the 4th of July. They inly come around once a year, and they are always breathtaking. Watching them illuminate on the water always brings me joy.

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.
