January 30th Is National Croissant Day

If there is any day that you can rightfully eat bread and not feel guilty about it, this is it.

It is January 30th and as such, it is National Croissant Day. This is a day that is celebrated by eating all sorts of croissants! Croissants are buttery, crescent-shaped rolls that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If this explanation doesn't make you want to eat croissants now that you have an excuse to do so, then nothing probably will.

My entire life I have loved croissants. They've always been a treat that I couldn't necessarily get very often because my mom wouldn't make them all the time and she definitely wouldn't even buy them. Well, she didn't buy them until she found good ones at Costco. We now often have croissants in our home regularly and there is no way anyone will complain about that because we all love croissants.

The history of the croissant is an interesting one, the credit for the croissant we know today is given to an Austrian military officer named, August Zang, who opened up a Viennese bakery during WWII in 1939. This bakery was in Paris, France and introduced Parisians to Viennese styles of baking.

While it is cool and fun reading about croissants, I know it is always better to actually eat a croissant so, you should head to your nearest Starbucks as they often have the best croissants!

When you get your croissant make sure you take a picture with it or of it and post it on social media to prove that you are celebrating this wonderful national holiday! Eating bread has never been more guilt-less. Do it. You wont regret it!

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.

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.
