Since most of us are still hanging out at home, you might feel like you are struggling to get photos to post on social media. Personally, I have struggled to get photos worth posting over the last few months. In order to keep my social media pages active, I have tried to experiment with photos and ideas lately. I've found that you don't need to go anywhere or need anything fancy in order to take cute photos to post to social media. Last week, I took a photo while I was just working on my schoolwork. So if you are struggling too here are a few tips to creating the perfect Instagram post, while you are staying inside.

1. Scope out ideas around your house or neighborhood

Just because you're not going anywhere or doing anything, doesn't mean you can't take cute photos. There's tons of opportunities to take photos in your backyard. One of my favorite trends right now is taking photos out your car window; This is a super cute way to get creative photos without having to necessarily go anywhere.

2. Look at Pinterest for inspiration

Pinterest has a lot of great photography ideas. Whether you are looking for posing ideas or fun photoshoot ideas, Pinterest is sure to have some suggestions. I usually use Pinterest to gain inspiration before taking photos; This way I have an idea of what I want to do before I start taking my photos.

3. Grab some props

Props are a great way to spice up a photo. Some great props to use in your photos include books, flowers, or food. Not only do props make your photo more unique but it also gives you something to do in your photos. By having something to do, your photos will appear more natural.

4. Get creative

Now is a great time to get creative with photo ideas. So if you ever have had a fun idea for a photo, now is the time to do it. I have seen lots of photos that have used board games, T.V.s, and kiddie pools to take photos.

5. Have fun with it

Taking photos is all about having fun so don't stress yourself out about getting the perfect photo for Instagram! Often times the cutest photos happen when you're just having fun.

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.

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.
