My love-hate relationship with IOS 10

A special shoutout to all the lovely iPhone users, you rock. We all freaked out when we got the update. Wait we can draw stuff and send it, and how did you send me balloons? Yes, we all updated our lovely little babies to IOS 10. Some love it some hate it, but if you're anything like me you love and hate it.

The emojis.

What the actual heck? Did we go back in time or what? Why do these emojis look so terrible now? What happened to the cute little emojis! And hello why is the gun a water gun now?! And even though I do hate some of them with a burning passion there are some new ones including, single parents, homosexual partners with children, churches and women weightlifting.

Parked Car

This may be the best thing that has ever happened to me. Apple can officially remember where you parked. All my life problems have been solved.

Digital Touch Message

Hello, best thing ever! Now I can send special little drawings to my friends and even better yet the little ones in my life!

Movie

Being away at college and away from all my friends and family can be super difficult at times. (Love y'all!) The new update has this awesome thing, just by going into your memories, then clicking people, places or related a little movie will be created. You can select the type of music you'd like and the length of the movie.

Widgets

Now when you swipe right you have access to apps. You have the ability to personalize your widgets. Personally I chose Siri App Suggestions, Weather, Maps & Destinations, Calendar, Reminders and Photos.

Unlocking

Eventually, it will be okay, but as for me I am so used to swiping to one side and unlocking my phone. However, now you must press the home button and enter the passcode or use your fingerprint.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
