Let's be honest, in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic, skincare has not been a top priority.

But it should be.

Even if you're no longer interacting with people or going too events, it's still important to take care of your skin.

And it doesn't have to be difficult. I'll admit, roaming through the Sephora skincare section can be overwhelming, but you can accomplish similar results from the comfort of your home. We have to stay home right now anyway, so we might as well take advantage of the time we have to take care of our skin.

These simple mask recipes can be made using stuff that's already in your kitchen. They're fun to make and it's always a benefit to know what you're putting on your skin.

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.

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.

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.
