As dangerous and life-threatening as this Hurricane Florence can be, it is always important to try to stay as positive as you can during these times...

so why not turn this hurricane into a hurricane party?

1. Alcohol

'Nuff said.

You know you're going to be stuck in the house for a week or more- what else is there to do besides get drunk?

So as you're stocking up on water and bread, make sure you don't forget some margarita mix and a case of white claws (or a few).

2. Card games

Whether it's Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, or just your regular deck of cards, card games are a necessity when you're stormed in.

No power means no technology, so put your poker face on and stir up some competition with your favorite card game.

3. Snacks, snacks, and more snacks

Besides stocking up on the necessities like bread, eggs, and water- don't forget to pick up a few of your favorite junk food snacks too!

My favorite go-to snack that I would never get tired of eating while being stormed in for a week is buffalo chicken dip!

4. Good company

There is nothing more fun than being able to be stormed in with all of your best friends and family.

Surrounding yourself with good company will not only make the time being stuck in the house go by quicker, but it will allow you to grow closer to them during that time and make lifetime memories!

5. Movies

The best time to movie marathon is ALWAYS during a storm.

Take out your favorite old throwback movies, pop 'em in the DVD player, and marathon on!

6. Music

And last but not least, the way to absolutely make your hurricane party- a dance party.

Grab your loudest speakers, make a hurricane playlist of all your favorite dance tunes, and as Michael Scott would say, "everybody dance now!"

As fun as hurricane partying can be, make sure that everyone is still smart and remembers that safety is the number one priority during these dangerous times.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
