The amazing country star, Carrie Underwood, is finally back after months of being in the dark. Not only did she make a bang coming back by delivering an emotional performance at the ACM awards, but she brought along with her an amazing new song, "Cry Pretty."

1. "So I apologize if you don't like what you see, But sometimes my emotions get the best of me, And falling apart is as human as it gets..."

Carrie starts off her song with these strong lyrics. They immediately tell us "Hey, I'm upset. Sorry if you don't like it but it's only human so... get over it."

We don't have to be strong all the time.

2. "A picture of pain, so let it flow like a river..."

Don't hold it in. Let it out, breathe, and pick yourself up again.

3. "You can pretty lie and say it's okay, You can pretty smile and just walk away, Pretty much fake your way through anything, But you can't cry pretty..."

The first chorus and the first chord struck in your heart. The lyrics couldn't reveal any more of a truth when it comes to the expectations this world has given you.

4. "You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks, When all your mascara is going to waste, When things get ugly you just gotta face, That you can't cry pretty..."

Stop caring what others think and put yourself first. Like I said previously... let it all out.

Go pick up your earbuds and phone, let this song play, and let it hit you that Carrie's right. You can't cry pretty but that's OK.

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.

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.
