The Greatest Birthday Gift Ever

You can't get much more unique...

The Greatest Birthday Gift Ever
Amberlyn Wilk

Recently, my friend Riley* and I were tasked with giving our friend Ashley* a birthday present. This birthday was particularly special because Ashley was going to be transferring schools. We wanted to give her something that was meaningful and that would celebrate our friendship (we also wanted to make sure that she would remember us whilst at her new school.

We realized that a picture was the perfect option! So Riley and I began the hunt through our phones' photo galleries for a picture of the three of us. With horror, we realized that we had none. Nothing. Nothing of just the three of us together. This ruined our plan. Everything was about to be over....until we realized that we could use God's great gift of photoshop. We did not want to make this plain however, it's not our style. The best picture we could find on Ashley's facebook showed her standing next to a pope cutout. We decide that the pope joining our photographs would be perfect. Still, something was missing. Then it hit us like a basket ball to the face....we needed the school mascot!

Finally, it was time to document our adventures:

We visited the moon!


We walked like Egyptians in Egypt!



We reenacted shark week!

We made history.


Though it was not a traditional gift. It was perfect because it not only was unique and amusing, but it definitely made sure that Ashley could never forget her two crazy friends.

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.
