The other day I was laying on my couch passing time on my phone, when I happened to open my iTunes Music app. No big deal right? Actually, HUGE deal! I can't remember the last time I opened iTunes, and boy am I glad I did. Looking through my playlists, it was like I had stepped into a time machine and been transported back to my middle school self. These were the golden years of my 4th generation iPod nano that my mom handed down to me when she got a new iPod shuffle.

These songs were with me at my first concert, when I was preparing myself to ask my 6th-grade crush to the dance, or when I'd stare out the window of my parents' car pretending my life was a movie (please tell me I'm not the only one). My iPod went with me everywhere. So if you're feeling a little nostalgic, here's a playlist from the iPod of a middle schooler in 2011.

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.

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.
