Why I Love Living In Connecticut

I really feel like if you ask anyone in Connecticut how they feel about living here nobody is ever overly ecstatic about it. All anyone ever has to say is "It's too cold" or "there's nothing to do". However, my friends, you are so wrong.

Where else can you live that has 4 beautiful seasons? And I mean real seasons.

Fall is almost everyone's favorite part of being here. Seeing the leaves change, going to corn mazes, pumpkin picking, haunted houses, and fairs. Winter gives us the white Christmas' people in other states only dream of. Spring gives us blooming flowers. Summer is hot but that's okay because the beach is an hour or less away anywhere you are.

You can even go to Rhode Island to Watch Hill or just spend the day in Newport. Feeling a day in the city? Boston and New York are 2 hours away depending on where you are. You can have your city days then go home to your white picket fences. There are incredible hiking trails and parks. You can go skiing, snowboarding, tubing, or just build snowmen if you're unathletic like me.

We're known for having great schools and great pizza (I mean really what else could you ask for?). History buff? Connecticut dates back to the beginning of our country so the stories are endless.

Anytime you ask people in Connecticut if they plan on leaving a majority of them will tell you yes.

However, in case you haven't noticed, they never do or they all come back. Maybe they just didn't realize how good we have it here in Connecticut. That's probably why so many celebrities live here too, likely because of its convenience also. There's really something for everyone here. So if you do ever decide to venture away from Connecticut, or near it, remember all it stands 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.

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.
