To My Future Nieces and Nephews

I haven't met you yet, and you are already so loved.

To my future niece(s) and/or nephew(s),

You cannot know how much I love you already. Knowing of your arrival brings such joy to my life and the anticipation is unbearable. I know we will get along great. I know that I will love sharing this life with you, watching you grow, reveling in all your accomplishments. You have yet to make your debut and you are already so loved by so many. There is a whole world of people waiting to meet you, and in just a few short months, we will be able to say "hello" for the first time. I cannot wait to hold you in my arms. I cannot wait to cradle your little head and watch you silent yawns. I cannot wait to see you smile. My baby niece(s)/nephew(s), I love you so much.

Your debut into this world will only make it a better place.

I cannot wait to see if you look more like your mom or dad. I cannot wait to hear your voice for the first time. I cannot wait to take you to Fenway, read your stories, and even help you with homework. You are going to be spoiled rotten -- and not just by me. You have so many aunts and uncles ready to give you the biggest hugs and ready to celebrate you every day. Not to mention your wonderful grandparents who are beyond eager to meet you. You haven't met them yet, but when you do you're going to love them as much as they love you.

So, my future niece(s) and/or nephew(s), you cannot possibly know how loved you are, but just know that you are loved. Just know that I have been so excited to meet you since I found out about your existence. This life is so great when you have a loving family and trust me, you're being born into the best family.

I love you already.

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.
