New Year's Eve, a time for celebration.

To hell with all the bad memories from 2017 and hello to 2018, a fresh start. I find it somewhat funny how about this time of the year people are tweeting about how they are so over this past year and how they are ready for the new one, but its the same thing every year.

I guess the good thing is that people are optimistic about the following year being better than before and I think that is a good outlook on life. But as the night approaches and you get ready to go party, I want you to think about these few things.

1. Don't get so drunk, you'll regret it January 1st, 2018.

Seriously, go have fun and be wild but if your that person who will be mad at themselves the morning after, don't go buck wild the night before. Otherwise, you will already be ready for 2019 and the truth is you are only one day into 2018. That could make for a very long year ahead.

2. If your new year resolution is going to the gym more, I encourage you to try and stick to it.

Everyone knows that one of the biggest new year resolutions is to work out. In a general sense, you get workout clothes for Christmas but never end up at the gym. Truth is, just stop talking about how you want to and just go out and do it! I promise you won't regret it.

3. If your goal in 2018 is to travel somewhere exotic, go do it!

As a frequent traveler, I highly recommend the new year resolution to be trying something new. By this, I mean save up some money, travel somewhere amazing or even study abroad. Sometimes going out of your comfort zone can be the best thing for you.

4. Who will you kiss when the clock strikes midnight?

Don't think too hard, but think hard enough!

5. If you don't feel like going out then stay in and watch home alone, you can't go wrong with that.

You can never go wrong with watching home alone, its just a classic that will never get old whether it is Christmas or New Years.

In the end, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day will pass. Next thing you know it'll be summer and then Christmas again. All of a sudden the year 2018 will go by and it will be 2019. Make the most out of this new year, this fresh start, this new you!!

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
