Art inspires artists to create more. Lately, I have been discovering this. My roommate and I were chatting about moments that inspired us to create, and we came up with a bunch of different moments: watching dance showcases, going to see musicals and plays at PlayHouse, listening to music, and going to art museums. All of these activities helped to spark our own interest and creativity.

This truly amazes me. One goal I have for myself is to take time to have creative outlets and create for fun. I am a writer, my major being journalism, so I write for classes, my University’s newspaper, and for The Odyssey. Because I am writing constantly, it is so easy to get bored, feel burnt out, and be unoriginal. For example, I have been writing for The Odyssey for about a year and a half now, which means I have written articles on a whole variety of topics, but I’ve focused on hobbies and topics I am passionate about. After a while, I felt that I have written all that I want to share on those topics, which makes it very difficult to think of new topics to discuss.

Luckily, art inspires.

Talking about these art forms with my roommate sparked my excitement. We then decided to have a paint night, a trademark of our roommate experience. I spent an hour disconnected from my phone, school work, and the stress of the beginning of the semester, and instead focused solely on painting mountains with a sun setting behind them. I came away from that hour completely relaxed and with a clear mind.

After completing the painting, I also realized how inspirational different art forms, which gave me the idea for this article.

If you are passionate about one form of art, try new forms of art. Watch a movie, listen to music, scroll through Instagram and look at drawings, or try an art form yourself. There are a million different ways to experience art, but I promise that exploring art will definitely inspire you.

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.

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

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.
