AwesomeCon Was Awesome
Susan Teneza

This past weekend I went to AwesomeCon in Washington D.C. It was so much fun! I met so many people and made a lot of new friends!

I had always wanted to cosplay at a con, I just thought it looked so fun! Because of this, I was able to cosplay as Rey from Star Wars my first day there, and Starfire from Teen Titans my second day there! My older sister, Melody, came along with me and we had so much fun!

It was amazing to see everyone bonding over their shared love for different fandoms, and I truly felt welcomed into this amazing world of fans! There was so much to look at and do I felt overwhelmed, but in a good way!

The first day I had fun running around the show floor with my sister, meeting the REAL B.B.-8 from Star Wars, carrying Luke Skywalker On My Back, and so much more!

The second day my sister and I scored awesome seats to see both John Barrowman AND John Boyega in their panels!! I even got to ask John Boyega a question! I literally just about died from excitement, and even told him I felt like peeing my pants! I feel like I blacked out at that moment because I think I was so excited that now I can’t remember it clearly. Thank goodness my sister captured our encounter on my phone!

I met so many cool people! I met someone with the most realistic Deadpool costume, 2 AWESOME Nightwings’, fellow Rey’s like me, 2 Luke Skywalkers’, an unbelievably cool Slade, and so many more! I hope to be going to many more cons to come!

I felt so welcomed into this world that I’m not sure I ever want to leave it! Everyone should go to a con at least once just so that you can geek out about your favorite things with other fans too

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.
