Bernie Sanders has my vote in this election.

Bernie Sanders has the most progressive platform of the Democratic Candidates and I think that's what we need.

Bernie Sanders has my vote in this election.

I know many people think Bernie Sanders is way too out there with his stances and many are against him running for being too radical and could lose votes because of this. I think he is what we need as a country right now.

America is severely divided right now but everyone can agree that the country is metaphorically on fire. Debt is overwhelming and the justice system is systematically unjust. Everyone knows that we need to fix ourselves but no one knows how. Bernie does.

A self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, Bernie wants to completely revolutionize the way the United States works. Tax the rich and eliminate student debt. Create a medicare for all plan to provide better care and no healthcare debt for Americans. Change the way people of color are systematically disadvantaged by the justice system and many more ways for us as a nation to become a truly modern society.

Bernie is feared for being too radical and his ideas being too socialist but why should we be afraid of a democratic socialist government if it is what could be what saves us from ourselves. Other countries have proven that having socialist ideas involved in their politics is going well. A notable country is Finland, they have free universities, public healthcare and are one of the happiest countries in the world.

This is just my belief and whoever you chose to vote for I just hope it is for the betterment of the country because we need all the help we can get.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
