Miranda Priestly is my spirit animal and I'm not ashamed to say so.

Miranda Priestly: "Oh, don't be absurd. Everyone wants to be us."

When I came back to campus this past weekend from visiting my hometown, I absentmindedly began sorting through my DVDs to find something for background noise while I worked on homework. I have a ton of DVDs (some would say way too many) because I'm kind of a movie junkie. I was looking for something that wasn't really romance (not in the mood) but also not too dark or adventurous (again, not in the mood), so I decided on comedy. And that's when my eyes glanced over "The Devil Wears Prada."

As I've gotten older, my fashion sense has definitely gotten better and I have more of an appreciation for all things fashion and clothing. So, Miranda Priestly, the sophisticated, somewhat cranky head of New York's Runway Magazine in "Devil Wears Prada" has most definitely become my spirit animal. Because my spirit animal is not a legit animal, but a boss attitude like Miranda's.

These are five times when my inner Miranda comes out:

1. When spring is known by the amount of florals that appear on campus.

But obviously I'm in floral print too so #nojudgement

2. Expectation: Me stepping out of my car for my 8 A.M.

Reality: Ratty sweatpants, no makeup, and a coffee the size of a regular wine bottle.

3. When your professor forgets to upload the homework, but it's still due in class...

4. When your friend forgot to get you a coffee when she bought hers. 

True friendship means buying each other coffee.

5. Thinking about all the stuff I have to get done before next week.

Those are five instances my inner Miranda Priestly thrives!

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.
