When it comes to Harry Styles, your mind instantly goes to that "old boy-band" One Direction. Branching out on his own since the band's hiatus, Harry has made a tremendous effort to show his true colors-and lets just say they are all under the rainbow.

Lets start with his music. Harry has released one album, self titled, with ten songs. I've sat down and listened to this album on repeat until everything blended into one big song. But being able to listen to this album, and the two added songs on tour (Anna and Medicine) we see a glimpse into who Harry really is. He is genuine. He is bold. He is someone who will continue to believe in you until the end of time. And aside from having a catchy tune, he writes some truly beautiful lyrics that never cease to inspire.

Harry is an avid believer in being who you truly are. He wants you to be the person you believe you can be. He encourages fans to embrace their sexuality, gender, and ethnicity. From dancing with pride flags to even commenting that he doesn't feel the need to label his own sexuality, Harry never fails to make sure that every fan feels they are welcome in his world. That his concerts are a safe, loving space for everyone. Just last week during his performance at United Center he remarked "In this room, please be whoever you want to be. You are free".

Harry also is also a supporter of several crucial movements that frequently make headlines. He makes sure to show that he is in support of the Black Lives Matter and End Gun Violence movements, from a simple few stickers on his guitar, to defying security to get his hands on a BLM flag during his shows. He is a part of the movements that are changing our lives- and they are changing his too. He is helping us lead the way to change, and inspiring his own audience to get involved.

And lastly, Treat People With Kindness. Treat People With Kindness is one of Harry's many iconic sayings and is also the charity campaign that is being run through his tour. His website writes "Visit the merchandise stand at each Harry Styles Live On Tour date for an exclusive Treat People With Kindness hair tie set. All of Harry's profits from these purchases, as well as a portion of ticket sales, will be donated to various local charities from his tour stops around the world." He is giving to those who cannot give themselves. Knowing that he has the ability to draw in a large audience, this charity campaign gives the perfect opportunity to give back to the fans by performing, and give back to the world by donating part of the profits to those in need.

I know that Harry Styles isn't for everyone, and there will always be people out there that frown upon his music, or maybe even his person in general. But I hope that after (maybe) giving his album a listen and reading about his encouragement of fans and his love for the world and everything in it, some of you might just think twice. Because he's started something, and there's no stopping it now.

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.
