Some of you may not know what "Fake Patty's" is, and for that I am sorry. It is the best fake holiday that has come to the town of Manhattan. It occurs the week before St. Patrick' s Day, so this year it will be happening the first week of March. It is a whole day designated to celebrating St. Patrick's Day in The Little Apple.

Whether this is your first time coming up for the holiday or not, these are some things you should keep in mind throughout the day.

1. Uber/Lyft rides...

Good luck trying to get anywhere in a timely manner and not breaking the bank. The best idea is to find a personal designated driver or just walk.

2. Water

Make sure you are drinking water throughout the whole day, when you start celebrating at 8 a.m. it can be hard to last the whole day. Just remember, you can't sprint a marathon!

3. Food

When you start so early in the morning, you cannot forget to eat! The best idea my friends and I had was to bring snacks and order Jimmy Johns or Pizza Shuttle to wherever we were.

4. Preparing the night before

Make sure you get plenty of rest for the day ahead... It will be a long one! Set out your outfit so you won't have to worry about it in the morning. Also, make sure you have breakfast plans because if you are going to be drinking all day you will need to start with a big breakfast.

5. Cops

The cops are super strict and out everywhere this whole weekend. Just make sure you are cautious of them and aren't drinking in plain sight or they will catch you!

6. Nap & rally

Since you are starting so early, you will defiantly have to plan for nap time. The party never really stops for some people, and that can work in your favor. After your nap, get ready to go out later that night and do it all again.

7. Plan out your day before hand 

You may not stick to these plans, but it's good to have an idea of where you want to go and do throughout the day.

8. Weather

The weather never likes to cooperate, so be prepared for anything. Last year the weather was perfect, but the year before it was snowing... You never know what you're going to get.

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.
