Childhood is beautiful. Childhood is pure. I had a childhood that I'm so thankful for, with so many incredible things. Things that this generation, however, will probably never experience. Why? Because, when I was a child - things were much more simple. Kids today have iPhones, we had HitClips. Kids today watch Netflix, we watched Disney Channel. This are so much different. This one's for all you 90's babies that grew up with me. Those were the good ol' days.

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.

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.
