Harry Styles has been incredibly successful throughout his career. With the accomplishments of One Direction and his own solo career, he has diversified himself and stepped out of the "boy band box". His self-titled debut album premiered last May and it had people talking. One Direction fans expected him to follow the rock genre but weren't expecting him to own it as well as he did. He especially makes it a point to entertain his audiences with his new music, which is all written or co-written by Styles himself.

He starred alongside Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy in the war film "Dunkirk" and defeated skeptics' expectations. He stood out while also keeping up with his co-stars.

Nonetheless, many can agree that Harry Styles has made a name for himself in the big wide world, but what a lot of people overlook are is his passion for activism.

An advocate for rights for everyone, especially LGBTQ+ rights, he displays merchandise at his concerts with the words "treat people with kindness" typed in big, bold letters. He reminds people of the chaos and hatred in the world and how we each have the power to change it just by changing our attitudes and being kind to others. Styles also presses on another issue that a lot of society struggles with—being yourself.

He wants you to be whoever you want to be, fearlessly. A lot of people forget their authenticity behind the facade of social media and first impressions. Styles, throughout his concerts, consistently reminds you to do what you want.

"You won't see these people tomorrow, so why not just go for it?", he said at his show in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

He wants you to dance, sing, and live without fear of another's thought. That's a tough thing to do nowadays, but with the movement starting with such an iconic influencer, I have a feeling that people will get the message.

Following suit on his platform of kindness and goodness in this world, he also displays "End Gun Violence" stickers on one of his guitars. With the recent happenings in the news (school shootings, cases of police brutality, and terror attacks) these small stickers speak volumes and get the exposure that the issues need.

Harry Styles is a singer, an actor, a funky dancer, and an activist for humanity, compassion, and kindness. He is one of the perfect examples of how people should be: Unapologetically good and unapologetically themselves. His heart is full of love for life and inclusivity, and that's something you don't see very often anymore.

It had been a while since I had last seen him play. He had four other friends on stage with him when I was fifteen. Now, at 21, I still find myself supporting him, especially as he embarks on an already impressive solo career. He is kind and adamant about how the world should be. He fights for what is right and what is good about this world.

I am proud to say that I'm a fan of this man and I hope that more people jump on the Styles bandwagon.

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.

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.
