I Tried The Randonauting TikTok Trend

I went Randonauting so you don't have to.

If you are addicted to TikTok like me, you may have heard of the app Randonautica. If not, it's an app that gives you random coordinates, and you are supposed to focus on an intention before going. You're meant to find something relevant to your intention, whether or not it's exactly what you envision. I first heard about Randonauting from a TikTok that showed a group of friends discovering human remains while on their adventure.

I thought the concept was bit far-fetched, so I decided to try it myself. My friends and I set out on our Randonauting adventure with the plan to visit three points with different intentions.

1) Something crazy

Our first intention to see something crazy took us about 10 minutes away. We didn't see anything peculiar on our drive there, and the coordinates ended up being a residential street. Once we analyzed the houses surrounding us, we came to the conclusion that it was a completely ordinary street. So unfortunately, attempt number one was a fail.

2) Money

We really hoped the app wouldn't fail us this time around. I imagined us at least finding a $20 bill on the ground. The coordinates took us to another residential street, but this time our destination was a nice house on the water. My friend got out of the car and searched for money, but there was no luck. We decided that the house we'd arrived at was worth a lot of money, so maybe we could justify the destination this time.

3) Something meaningful

For our final attempt at Randonauting, we wanted to make it worth our while. The app ended up sending us down the block from my house this time around. When we arrived at the supposedly meaningful destination, we saw a bunch of trash on the side of the road. We decided to assume there was nothing meaningful in the trash to spare ourselves from going through it. But I mean, one man's trash is another man's treasure, right?

So, do you need to go Randonauting? I wouldn't say it's a must-try activity for your summer, but it is definitely something interesting to do if you're bored. Even if it doesn't work, Randonauting still gets you to explore places you may have never seen otherwise.

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.

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.
