We have all had to make that crucial decision in life? "Where do I shop? Walmart or Target?" There's only one right answer to that question. Walmart.... GOTCHYA. I'm not one of those freaks. Target is your one-stop shop, and to speak the name Walmart out loud should be considered blasphemy.

1. The Quality

Target carries higher quality products in certain departments such as kitchenware, furniture, and meat. The kitchenware at Target is not only more durable and of a higher quality, but many times they also carry things in different colors. The same goes for the furniture. Walmart, overall, has good food for good prices, this is true. However, the quality of meat at the deli is atrocious.

2. Cleanliness

It's not unusual to see something- let's just say- not as it should be. There might be messes, disorganization, and dirty bathrooms in a Walmart. Many times, it is not kept to the standards that it should be. Perhaps they leave all their cleaning for the end of the night rather than doing it throughout the day? We may never know. The employees at Target are always hard at work fixing up the story to be both clean and aesthetically pleasing.

3. Wider Isles

If you have ever been to Walmart, there is a strict 2 lane policy when it comes to the isles. There is no wiggle room to that rule whatsoever. It is a whole new kind of traffic jam. On the upside, giving your child the shopping cart will give them some valuable lessons in the rules of the road. Steering, navigating, and trying not to hit anyone is good practice for them.

4. Employees

The employees at Target are much more polite and ready to help. They smile at you and are eager to help. When you go to Walmart, making eye contact and smiling at the greeter will result in awkward side eye and no response at all. The greeters are surprised when you actually say hello back to them, and they don't know what to do next!

5. The Clientele

All I'm saying is: you never see someone wearing fuzzy pink slippers and a superhero cape doing their weekly grocery shopping in Target. It's no mystery that the creeps come out to Walmart, especially at night.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
