I am out of ideas...

Even as it now becomes summer, it can be hard to figure out original ideas to write for an Odyssey article. I'm coming up on my one year, and I have written about a lot of various different topics. With today (Wednesday, May 16) being the deadline for another article, I have been in the writer's block since coming home from school. As I was sitting on the couch in my living room, I was able to conjure up a few things that I have done before I finally sat down to write this article.

1. I unpacked my stuff from college

I'm still in the middle of doing that.

2. I spent a week picking my brother up from high school

Yay for when your school does no bussing. That was sarcasm.

3. I went shopping

There were a few occasions, but I spent a good chunk of time in Barnes and Noble.

4. I applied for jobs

I had interviews also.

5. I watched baseball

I wrote about baseball in my last article because I got inspired while watching some.

6. I listened to music

It's what gets my creative juices flowing. Right now it is Awake from BTS' album Wings.

7. I loaded and unloaded the dishwasher

I mean, might as well.

8. I ate

You got to eat. You need to eat.

9. I finally decided to sit down and write this article about what I did before I wrote this article

All while Awake is still playing.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
