Life Lessons From Dwight Schrute

1. Always be prepared

You never know when you'll need a wig, or twenty dollars cash. Better to be prepared than regretfully without a wig in a time of need.

2. Mockery is the sincerest form of flattery

Or is it imitation? Your friends are definitely mocking.

3. You don't always have to keep up with pop culture

The Kardashian's are having too many kids to keep up at this point.

4. Comforting your friends is important

Even if you don't understand their drama sometimes.

5. Be self confident

No one else will believe how great you are if you don't.

6. Relate to others by using common interests

Although, maybe check about the other person's interests first.

7. Take some time for yourself once in a while

Everybody Hurts sometimes.

8. Never give up on your childhood dreams

It's never too late to become the hay king.

9. Consider advice before making a move

"Don't be an idiot." -Michael Scott

10. Accept your faults

And keep standing on bad days.

11. Enjoy the little things

And don't let anyone make you feel bad about enjoying them.

12. Mockery is still the sincerest form of flattery

Jokes on you, haters.

13. Don't be afraid to state your feelings

Sometimes, it works out alright for you in the end. Especially if you include a megaphone in your declaration.

14. Your time to shine will come

Although getting to the top might take longer than you want, and the goal might change along the way, things will turn out alright.

15. Sometimes you just have to hug it out

It's good to let people around you know that they matter (probably easier to do this when you're not concussed, but that's a personal choice).

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.
