A Fun List Because I Love My Dad
Justin Adams

I have no idea what to say here. Why? Because this is a list of things my dad has taught me. He's a complete asshole sometimes, but overall, I know no one loves me more. I know he never stops thinking about me and my safety. I know that we are very similar in so many ways. (Scary, right?) I am very lucky to share the same DNA as this guy.

1. How to curse like a sailor

Like father, like son.

2. How to cry like a man

We are so weepy-eyed all the time. I cannot imagine life without being emotional about how amazing my friends are, how much I miss NYC and all the stories about Bert's Big Adventure.

3. How to be passionate

Dad is one of the most passionate people I know. I do not even come close to his passion but one day I hope to.

4. How to love someone so much that you're obnoxious

And we are back to crying...

5. How to always have something to say

We just cannot help it.

6. How to be helplessly loyal

We just now how to be a good friend, and will always be there for the people we love. Oh, and more tears.

7. How to eat good food

We'll have an appetizer, salad, soup, entree, extra side. Oh, and can we see the desert menu?

Thanks, Dad.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
