The turnover chain was getting plenty of wear Saturday night. It was a great weekend for the Hurricanes football team. Amidst all the doubters talking about how the Hurricanes had not played a tough game, the football team decided to put on a show for the entire nation. In the first primetime home game of the year, Miami’s defense dominated Virginia Tech and led the team to a 28-10 victory.

Throughout the season, many college football pundits have questioned the strength of the Hurricanes schedule. To make matters more interesting, the Hurricanes have won many of their games in dramatic fashion. However, as any competitor will tell you, you can only beat who is put in front of you. Miami did not just beat Virginia Tech, but also sent a message while doing it.

The game started off well for the Hurricanes. The offense started the first drive hot, and quickly got to the Virginia Tech 2 yard line. But, the Hokies stopped the offense from scoring and appeared to take momentum. However, the Hokies did not take advantage of this and would regret it later. The Hurricanes would seize momentum and send the crowd into a frenzy when Rosier connected with Berrios for the first touchdown of the game. The very next drive, running back Travis Homer would break a tackle and then take off for a 64 yard touchdown that would extend the lead to 14-0.

After halftime, Virginia Tech would get on the board with a one-yard rush. The Hokies would get the ball back, but would turn the ball over on downs due to a poorly timed snap. The Hurricanes once again capitalized on the Hokies’ mistakes when Herndon caught a pass and ran 43 yards to the end zone to make the score 21-10. Rosier would later speed through a hole for a rushing touchdown that put the game out of reach at 28-10.

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.

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.
