Ever since I was young, I have wanted to do everything.

I mean everything.

I have always had the dream of picking up a hobby and magically being good at it. Mastering something, having something to do, build on, and become really good at.

I have been through guitar, acrylic painting, watercolor painting, skateboarding, roller skating, ukulele, flute, knitting, violin, jewelry making, drawing, bracelet weaving, and photography. I’m sure my mom and dad can list a lot more of these strange hobbies that I have tried to adopt over the years. Of course I keep up with these many professions on pinterest and other social medias and I go back and forth between them often.

I may never been 100% at any of these things but if you give me a guitar, ukulele, flute, or violin, I can play you a note.

I can doodle and sketch a pretty decent tree or paint something to resemble one.

I can’t skateboard, but I love to roller skate.

I’m still learning how to knit and I hope to someday have a scarf. I can make a bracelet out of beautiful beads for you.

I take pictures on my phone or camera everyday to try and capture this life I love so much.

I guess that I’m just trying to say that, I am glad to have had interest in all of these things. I have knowledge and background in all of them, and I can always expand of what I know of all these things.

I have had a really busy life trying to cram this all into one time frame, but I am so grateful as to have had supportive family and friends that were always ready for the next adventure I might be asking for.

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.
