Manic Panic... at the Disco?
The Decline of Western Civilization

Everything is shifting. Can you feel it? It's like everything is falling apart. Like we're going to have to find a foothold to grab ahold of the rubble. Like we are going to have to pick ourselves up and dust off. Like we are going to have to have a steady supply of safety pins to collect our discombobulated parts and attach ourselves back to ourselves.

The resurgence of "Trickle Down Reaganomics" feels more like watching rich, failing assholes who manage to fall up as we break down. Where is the goodness in people?

Oh yeah, all around us... Like, I have never felt like a capital P patriot until this whole Trump deal. When you can reality TV watch someone dismantle your whole country it's super disheartening. But, you can still see in the marches that we are fighting, and that we are fighting for A GOOD COUNTRY FOR EVERYONE. Why does it seem like its so hard for people to want a good country/world for everyone here?

Oh, yeah... It's because some people are afraid of losing what they have. Somehow, the idea that spreading the wealth means that we go without? Like, "I AM SO AFRAID THAT I WILL LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE I AM FORCED TO DRINK CONTAMINATED WATER AND THEN MY BRITA FILTERS WON'T BE ON SALE!"

Yeah, dude. You sound like that. You, like Dennis Leary are an asshole. We are all probably assholes.

Assholes who need hair that reflects the revolution in our hearts but not the sitting on the bed, binge-watching all of the protests on CNN, while internalizing our own hypocrisy. That kind of hair!

For that, I recommend Manic Panic , preferably a few years old, that you embrace from the bottom of an oft-forgotten bin of hair products. You can wildly slick it in your hair and then the jarring sight of yourself in the mirror will make you feel alive enough to make you feel like you are actually a part of the whole viva la revolution, BABY!

Addendumb: Assholes can't make endorsements except for anal bleach. While hair dye is sort of the same I wouldn't recommend Manic Panicing your asshole. But as an asshole I can't tell you what to do.

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.
