What Your First Cell Phone Says About You
https://www.cnet.com/pictures/motorola-razr-v3-history/

  1. Nokia — You had practical and sensible parents. Or you are old and probably not reading this article.
  2. SideKick — You liked to text. A lot. You probably got yelled at for going over your texting limit for the month more than just once. You have entered a Hot Topic before and possibly even worn a pyramid belt before. This phone was your identity.
  3. Razr — You had a pretty happy childhood. You usually got what you wanted for your birthday and definitely had side-bangs at least once in your life. You were willing to deal with TERRIBLE call quality and ever-crashing cell service to keep up with the trends.
  4. Blackberry — You were also dedicated to keeping up with the trends, but decided to do so in a much more practical way
  5. LG EnV or EnV 2 — You also liked to text a lot. You wanted a flip phone with a big keyboard that also took pictures and this was it. Your friends with Blackberry's made fun of your less-mainstream phone but you adored it.
  6. Palm Pre Plus — You liked palm pilots and didn’t have an iPhone so you had this phone. You now no longer use either.
  7. Sony Ericsson — You are probably also way old to be reading this article, or you were very high-tech and savvy to own this phone which had two-way MMS, T9, predictive text, email, web browsing, bluetooth AND the ability to edit Microsoft Office docs with your stylus.
  8. LG Chocolate — You were a pretty average kid. You were normal and had nice friends
  9. iPhone — You always had the latest, no matter what it was. Hate it or love it, the original iPhone changed mobile phones forever.

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.
