Quarantine got you feeling tired and unproductive? Me too, and whenever I need motivation to get some work done, I always take a trip to one of our local coffee shops.

Since everyone is still mostly staying inside though, here is one of my favorite at-home coffee recipes, that also happens to be really budget friendly! I've been making this at home for about two years now, and I haven't found anything better without an espresso machine.

1. In a mason jar (or whatever glass) add a spoonful of brown sugar.

2. Pour cold brew or cold brew concentrate until it fills half of your glass.

Keep in mind that if you use a concentrate, it will be much stronger so adjust as needed. My favorite brands are Lucky Jack, Stumptown, and Chameleon, but there are tons of different cold brews on the market which are just as delicious. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, Stok is also a good option.

3. Stir the brown sugar as much as you can until it dissolves into the cold brew.

4. Fill the rest of your glass with a milk of your choice.

I prefer oat milk, but whatever milk you choose is fine.

5. Add ice.

And there you have it! A simple cold brew drink that is extremely energizing and will curb your cafe cravings. Cheers to caffeine!

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.
