Communication Is Key In Any Relationship
Austin Bennett

Communicating is a vital part of any relationship. Whether it be a professional relationship for work, a friendship, or a romantic one, communication with one another is incredibly important. Without it, the relationship would fail. The line of communication is a two-way road, both people need to talk as well as sit back and listen. The listening part is what a lot of people struggle with.

You need to set aside your pride and have a conversation. No one likes to talk about really serious stuff, especially when it's addressing something personal like the way you drive or how you treat others. But these conversations are critical to building a strong and solid relationship.

Far too often do we sit back with our mouths closed. If something is wrong, speak up about it. Problems don't just go away; they simply just get pushed to the side and fester until one small little thing triggers it all. To avoid fights, calmly talk things out.

Opinions are okay to have, but to give an opinion requires you to be receptive of another's. I personally need to practice what I preach at times and be more open to what's out there. Everyone has their opinions and opinions need to be shared. They open your eyes, give you different ways of thinking, and can even alter your life.

The point is, every single human interaction requires good communication. Having an open and honest relationship could be the very thing that keeps it together. With open communication, you build trust and comfortability. Speak your mind, but do so in a calm and mature manner.

Now go out and start talking. You'll be surprised how many things can be solved once we just start talking about them.

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.

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.
