Cold weather is coming and we all know this is the jolly time when skin starts to dry up like a raisin. Lips are crusty, skin cracks and burns. Lotion refuses to work. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I have been using coconut oil for six months and have researched and discovered for myself some impeccable qualities it possesses. There is much more to coconut oil than being a skin moisturizer.

Here are 10 ways coconut oil has helped me:

Coconut oil helps weight loss

All those ridiculous diets could have been avoided by ingesting coconut oil instead. If only I had known sooner for the sake of my close relationship with chocolate!

It's an antibacterial and antifungal

Any health freaks out there like me? Coconut oil kills bacteria whether it be on your face—yes, I mean acne—or on cuts and wounds. The anti-fungal is a major plus. No more warts and no more fungus! Say goodbye to athlete's foot my people.

Gym time equals coconut time

I have been trying to gain muscle mass for years. Then I read that coconut oil, when ingested, helps with gaining muscle. Time to get my results and make the gym worth my time!

 Helps prevent Alzheimer's or bring memories back

If you know someone with Alzheimer's like me, this is interesting news for you. With the seriousness of Alzheimer's, anything is worth a try to bring a loved one back to reality.

Good for the Heart and other organs

Let's keep things working inside. Coconut oil makes things run smoothly—no pun intended.

 Great for skin and hair

I struggled with acne all my life, going through plenty of medications. The natural antibacterial properties and hydration made my acne go away. Not to mention the smoothness of my skin and hair.

Improves digestions

Honestly, we all struggle with digestion sometimes and it is not fun.

Good for oral health

Who would have thought that coconut oil is the ultimate tooth paste?

Helps balance hormones

Ladies, we relate to this on a personal level. When my hormones are off balance, I am the worst person to be around. Coconut oil helps balance those hormones that make you cry for no reason and give you acne for no reason!

No more chapped lips!

I have always had a problem with chapped lips. No matter how much chap stick I layer on, the results are still dry. With the cold weather approaching, it will only get worse. Coconut oil is the only product that has been able to relieve my chapped lips!

When in doubt, I am sure there is something coconut oil can do. Maybe it's not for you, but it might work for a friend! It definitely worked for me.

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.
