This book is HYSTERICAL. My cousin handed it to me during a plane ride while she finished up another book, and I am so thankful she did. This book contains countless stories about the not-so-talked-about one night stand. Chelsea Handler finds herself in so many uncomfortable and hysterical situations simply because she really likes men, and they seem to really like her!

She tells stories of being with men from all walks of life, from a male stripper in Las Vegas all the way to a little person in a hotel room. Handler is blunt and honest and leaves nothing out. She talks about her wild friends and her disapproving family. Her family knew of her lifestyle choices and had a lot to say about it, but she didn't really seem to care. Some of the stories are so out of the ordinary that you actually find yourself shaking your head and wondering how someone's life could actually be so comical.

What I loved about this book, was the brutal honesty. Handler told the stories that ended in a good way with as much passion as the ones that didn't. She wasn't trying to make herself look good or justify herself, she just told it how it was. One night stands are seemingly taboo in today's society, and she was still completely open about everything. Handler was not ashamed of herself and her stories… she was living the life she wanted, and she didn't need anyone's approval.

"My Horizontal Life" is a book I would recommend to anyone in need of a good laugh. It is a super quick read that will have you giggling and shaking your head in disbelief from cover to cover. If you enjoy genuine and honest humor, Chelsea Handler's "My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands" will have you wanting more insane stories as soon as you finish.

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.

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.
