Keeping an eye out for animals while on the road

What Can Happen While Driving

I recently got a car during Thanksgiving break and I am so thankful for it!! I got a small Volkswagen Golf and I love it. I drive it everywhere I go (with my mom by my side of course since I don't have my license yet - I get it when I turn seventeen in January).


The past few days I have been seeing so much roadkill while driving. One time, I saw two dead cats on the side of the road consecutively. It freaked me out and I was filled with sympathy for them. It's just sad to see the poor animals that died most likely of a car (could be another animal but still).

Another incident that happened after getting my car is with a deer. There are many deer near where I live, and when I was driving at night one day, a deer just ran into the road right in front of me out of nowhere. I was extremely surprised and panicked. My headlights were on; the deer luckily just passed by shortly. After that, I am really cautious when driving at night, especially in areas near my house because it is around forests.

Overall, I am super thankful to be able to drive a car that I can now call mine!! I cannot wait to get my license soon so I can start driving it on my own.

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.
