In a recent Instagram post, Ariana Grande boldly declared herself as "the hardest working 23-year-old human being on Earth." Many on the internet did not feel too enthused to agree.

Being a musician can be very difficult, and there is no doubt that this "Dangerous Woman" puts a lot of effort into working hours upon hours to do what she does, but this statement really offended a lot of people.

A 23-year-old mother wrote an opinion piece in reply to Grande's comment. "I started off at $10.50 an hour working nights, sitting at a table staring at thousands of little pieces of metal, packing them into boxes and sending them on their way. I was ale to work my way up enough that I now work in a nice, air-conditioned lab on day shift making $21.50 and hour." She further describes her life of growing up in a broken home and becoming the adult she is today.

A Twitter user also posted "... like there aren't 23-year-olds out [here] working 4 jobs to stay in their tiny apartments." Another user sarcastically agreed with the pop star's comment, "Yea Arianna Grande is the hardest working 23-year-old on Earth not the ones struggling making 60 cents a day trying to provide for their families."

The caption seen around the world was posted with a picture of the singer on Saturday, January 14th, and has not been deleted; who knows if it ever will be? Despite the backlash from those who took offense, there are also people who are on Grande's side and have no hesitation when it comes to defending her.

One Twitter user tweeted that Grande is "like the hardest working female recording artist! the girl works non stop!" while another thanked the pop star in a tweet for "always working the hardest for us [the fans]," before the Instagram post even existed.

The chaos from the caption has simmered down on social media, especially now that Inauguration Day has passed and there will be more important issues to focus on than a singer's caption on a social media post.

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.
