The '90s: we see its influence resurfacing in virtually every facet of society. Some of the most iconic styles, actually known for being so ugly they became fashionable, some of the cutest and most recognizable faces in the fashion music and acting business starring in the best blockbusters... With weird haircuts, and red carpet acne, they were cute, adorable and infamous, and we just can't get enough of them. Here are just four of the best and most iconic people from the '90s, who we feel will live in infamy.

1. Leonardo DiCaprio.

For those of you who were born in 2002 and are now 13 (believe it not), let me mention that the Leonardo DiCaprio that is currently present is a very different version than was first introduced to us in films like "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and of course the infamous "Titanic." We swooned over him courting Kate Winslet, and we internally died when he touched the car door window, during "the car scene," and when he froze evidently to death in the Atlantic due to not enough room on a giant wooden door we all thought he would have definitely fit on! It was heartbreaking, and also made him a heartthrob that made us forever addicted to the boyish good looks, and addictive charm of sir Leonardo DiCaprio. He will always be Jack Dawson for some of us, and for those of us who recognized him because he was in that confusing film called "Inception" running alongside Juno, I am so sorry...I take pity. However I also live in envy as you do not have to live with this ache in your heart for '90s Leo forever. (Or Jack, or Romeo, whoever you prefer.)

2. Kate Moss.

Millennials in general are obsessed with supermodels, but they did exist and run across the world during a much less virtual time, which might have made them that much more "Super." Even if some don't recognize the name, her infamous face will probably run across any Tumblr page or Instagram for girls to stare at in awe and wonder. So simple, yet so sexy, so elegant and so fierce. (Even without contour) yes miss au natural captivates us all. Her days of snorting cocaine and having the epitome of a destructive relationship far surpass the likes of an Edward Cullen turning Bella into a vampire dichotomy. She strolled the runway and captivated the world before booties were ever even considered couture. And she did it at five feet seven inches tall. Although, those thicker women among us should be thankful for the likes of Kim K's and body positivity; one shall never forget the infamous statement made by miss Moss herself which sounds like, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." Some women might even find this statement confusing as skinny is no longer absolutely paramount and singularly equal to beauty. However, during this time, unless you were a dead Marilyn Monroe, for the most part beauty was long legs, and no food. However, now we can reminisce on a time when girls brought around their portfolios to castings and had no Instagrams to connect with their fellow model friends. Nowadays, the world of runway fashion, however exclusive, is at least digital, which allows those of us who want to participate in fashion, a chance. Also, Moss is still is as beautiful as ever scoring in almost every magazine and still rocking her gorgeous and glam natural "girl next door you can never have bye" captivating look. The woman is untouchable, and absolutely iconic.

3. Angelina Jolie.

Come on. Come on. This should be a two-word sentence with a period, a technical done deal, an understanding of science and planetary movement. She is the epitome of sexy, sensual, and oh so bad. And during the '90s, a face that made everyone rethink Barbie as their favorite doll. She was bad, badass, and absolutely beautiful. She was outspoken, reckless, a wreck, and so addicting to watch. Any time she was on red carpets everyone had their eyes peeled and were waiting for knives to fall out of her mouth and into your pants. I sadly got to participate through a later lens of reruns on YouTube, but still, what a time. Her lips, her mouth, her spirit, and her candor were so fascinating that even if she is one of the most involved and rebound celebrities for her outstanding contributions to UNICEF and humanitarian work in general. Those of us candid enough to look back will always enjoy reminiscing on the bad girl Angie glory days that set the tone for every beautiful girl to be any kind of bad.

4. Johnny Depp.

Johnny? Johnny "Cheekbones" Depp? Does anybody recall such a guy? Well if you are a Millennial, of course you do! I will never forget the first time I recognized I had a massive crush on Ichabod Crane. Yes, you know the guy, that skittish one who came to Sleepy Hollow to find out what was going on with all of those severed bodies? Yes that one. Something about his vulnerable nature and striking features that created a cutie so soft, so sad, and so adorably introverted, that it made you want to cuddle and reveal all of your deepest secrets and dreams. He made girls want to cry and be held, but also know we could never fully have him. I think even in his later years, those same girls still wouldn't mind. What a legend, like Sleepy Hollow, but a legend, like any other, that we wont let die.

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.

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.
