For Anyone That Thinks Diets Work, Don't Believe It

It doesn’t work and it’ll make you miserable.

People are so into quick diets and fad diets, but the truth is…diets don’t work. They give you “fake” results. Dieting leads to temporary weight loss and then they end up making you gain more weight back than when you started.

When you diet and eat less food than your body needs to perform everyday functions, it'll end up impacting your body negatively. You are starving your body and it stores the little food you are putting into it. This leads to less energy and then when you eat normal portions again, your body will store more food and use less of it. You essentially will “blow up” like a fish.

Solution? Live a healthy life style. Eat healthy food and normal portions of it. Treat yourself to that cookie or brownie or bag of chips. It won’t kill you and it won't make you gain weight. It’s good for the soul.

Happy people eat junk food. You can quote me on that one for sure.

You know what foods are good for you and which are not. It's all about balance and living an active lifestyle. If you want to eat everything junky in sight, DO IT. Get outside and do something active afterward. Balance people.

Don’t diet. It’s not healthy, it’s short term and it’ll make you grumpy and tired. Does any of that sound beneficial? No. No, it does not.

Eat the donut. You’ll thank me later.

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.
