You should always tell somebody you're thinking of them before you end your day.

The Importance Of A Good Night Message
Kelsey Dietrich

Today I am writing to emphasize the importance of a good night message. It may not seem like this is really that big of a deal; however, after you do begin to think about it, you realize just how special it really is.

Sending a good night message shows somebody that you are thinking of them before you complete your day and start recharging for a new one. While this action may or may not be the very last thing that you do before going to sleep, it is still worth noting that you have made time to show somebody some well wishes as the day winds down. A good night message can be sent to anyone that you are close to or whoever seems to be on your mind in-particular that night. This includes parents, siblings, other family members, friends, and significant others.

The form of a good night message may vary. It can be a text, Snapchat, phone call, or Facetime. Moreover, the content of a good night message may also be varied. Depending on the method by which you choose to convey your good night message, you can keep it short and simple or elaborate into a mini conversation reflecting on the events of your recipient's day. No matter which route you choose to take, whoever receives your good night message will appreciate the mere fact that you made an effort to take some time out of your day to communicate with them. It's definitely the thought that counts; that thought will most certainly not go unnoticed.

Additionally, it may come as an initial surprise to receive a good night message. Then, your entire body will fill with joy as you realize that somebody has acknowledged you and sent forth a message of wishing that you have a good night. As the day comes to an end, this person chose to focus their time and energy on you. That is an amazing feeling.

What's an even more amazing feeling is making somebody else feel good. By showing somebody that you are thinking of them is important at all times of the day. Specifically, a good night message attempts to end somebody's day on a happier note; hopefully, they can go to sleep feeling content and loved no matter what they endured during the day.

Furthermore, good night messages have the potential to turn into nightly rituals. You and the recipient may make it a habit to exchange "good nights" every evening. The specialty of the good night message increases as you make a tradition out of the little reminder that you are thinking positively directed at somebody of great importance in your life.

If you do not send good night messages to anyone, perhaps try it out one evening. You may be pleasantly surprised with what happens next in terms of the strength of your relationship with the recipient in the future, the positive emotions that you will feel after making an effort to reach out to somebody, and the gratitude you will feel as a result of their reciprocation if it occurs.

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.

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.
