How does the rain make you feel? Do you look how side and just want to crawl back into bed or do you find comfort in the stillness and pitter patter on your window sill? For me, I can break each letter of the word down into four adjectives that I feel correlate well with the rain.

1. Relaxing

Rain has a steady sound that seems to drown out every other surrounding noise. It's rhythmic and peaceful.

2. Artistic

When it rains we tend to have a sense of awakening. May it be artistic and just new ideas pop into our heads. I feel as if we day dream more and worry less. You can look outside a window and find inspiration.

3. Invigorating

Even though the outside world may be grey and dull, I tend to find comfort and joy in that fact that I know sunshine is soon to follow. Rain can't last forever. Soon there will be a ray of sunlight in the sky and all your problems will seem to drift away.

4. Relieving

At the end of the day, when the rain finally settles and you step outside, it will fill like a huge weight was lifted off your shoulders and everything around you may seem cold and down, but you will have a sense of stability for you were sheltered.

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.
