Upset alert! The Sun Devils beat #18 Michigan State Spartans

The kick is wide left! Michigan State's kicker misses the possible game-tying field goal as ASU holds onto a 10-7 lead. Michigan State's kicker Matt Coghlin had made the first field goal attempt, however, there was a flag where MSU had 12 guys out on the field which created a five-yard penalty. The second attempt not even close as you could see the sun devil This game felt like deja vu as the matchup last season led to a three-point victory over the spartans!

This game completely shocked me as ASU has not had a real test this season when it comes to the opponents they have faced. The devil's defense held a Big Ten offense to under 500 total yards and they even had a recovered fumble during the first half. No one could've predicted that the young defense of ASU could come into East Lansing, Michigan and hold the ranked opponent to one touchdown.

The Sun Devils make a statement and show their presence in the PAC-12 as they now stand with a 3-0 record. People expected this team to not perform this well. However, Arizona State has scored more than seven points in 137 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the FBS, according to a recap from ESPN.

ASU freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels started the game out slow. It wasn't until his team absolutely needed it until he gave the sun devils the drive they needed. Late in the 4th quarter, Daniels led the offense 77 yards down the field on 11 plays. I saw the clutch moment that makes Jayden Daniels live up to the hype as he completed a successful run of 15 yards for a first down on fourth-and-13 in MSU territory. ASU looks to stay undefeated as they go up against CU Boulder at home.

Expect the Sun Devil fan base to pack the stands at Sun Devil Stadium as they look to kick-off conference play undefeated. Especially with the fact that ASU is no longer a forgotten football program as they now crack into the AP top 25 rankings. The Sun Devils enter week 4 being the number 24 ranked team in the nation!

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.

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.

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.
