There are a couple significant moments every person remembers in their lives: learning how to walk, getting your driver's license, the first day of college, your wedding day...and the first time you see Beyoncé in concert. That fateful day for me happened last weekend at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. There were a lot of things I learned that day that I felt should be documented lest the terribly devastating situation occur where you might not get to see Beyoncé's flawlessness in person. Thus, I present the 10 ways Beyoncé literally changed my life after seeing her in concert during the Formation tour.

1. She opened the concert by immediately empowering us. She began with the words, "If you are proud of who you are and where you come from say, 'I slay,'" which of course we proceeded to repeat after her.

2. She was even more beautiful in real life than you could have ever imagined. Her hair and makeup magically managed to stay on fleek the entire show, even after Beyoncé and her dancers performed in a pool of water.

3. All the dance breaks with her crew were actually mind-blowing and mesmerizing. I don't think I could have handled it if I was up closer to the front.

4. She was so sweet and down to earth. She thanked us multiple times for sticking with her through all these years, and I'm pretty sure I died whenever she smiled. She also got us to sing along with her during multiple songs.


5. There was an interlude before the song "Survivor", where she talked about facing racism and sexism and how we are all survivors.

6. Getting to experience the song, "Diva" live fulfilled my 6th grade dreams. Enough said.

7. She sung over 30 songs in less than 2 hours. Meanwhile, I was exhausted just watching her. A little too much truth in the quote I keep seeing around on Pinterest, "You have as many hours in a day as Beyoncé" but it was amazing to witness the greatness nonetheless.

8. There was so much artistry to the show while also keeping it super fun and hype. I loved the costume changes and the backdrops for the song "Countdown" and "Daddy Lessons" because they were so creative and unique. At one point, the special effect fire was blasted into the air that even I felt the heat from, sitting in the farthest section back.


9. She was so unapologetically herself, but also so supportive of everyone around her that it was inspiring.

10. She finished out with the song, "Halo" while fireworks went off behind her. If you didn't leave without crying, you were for sure hit right in the nostalgia with this one.

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.

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.
