If you're my age, you might not know who Mister Rogers is, unless your parents raised you on the PBS Kids programming of their day like mine did. However, you might recognize the melody of the theme song for his show, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," since it seems to capture a universal sound of childhood.

Mister Rogers always sought to encourage kindness, joy, curiosity, and a positive sense of self-worth in his audience. Undoubtedly, everyone in the world could benefit from these things, so I've collected just a few of Mister Rogers' quote to ensure that you have a beautiful day.

1. "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'"

2. "Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we give us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people."

3. "If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person."

4. "The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self."

5. "The connections we make in the course of a life--maybe that's what heaven is."

6. "There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind."

7. "Everyone longs to be loved. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving."

8. "You are a very special person. There is only one like you in the whole world. There's never been anyone exactly like you before, and there will never be again. Only you. And people can like you exactly as you are."

9. "We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are."

10. "The media shows the tiniest percentage of what people do. There are millions and millions of people doing wonderful things all over the world, and they're generally not the ones being touted in the news."

11. "You make each day a special day by just your being you."

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.
