Most mothers are self-proclaimed "cool moms." They think they could easily hang with their kids' generation of music, fashion, and media. I decided to put this confidence to the test by giving my own mom a pop culture quiz complete with current lyrics, phrases, and references. Here are her hilariously misinformed answers:

1. Fill in the blank: "thank u, next" by Ariana Grande

Thought I'd end up with a lot of money

But he wasn't a money maker

Wrote some songs about bein' rich

Now I listen and cry

Even almost got a lottery ticket

And for that, I'm so thankful

Wish I could say, "Thank you" to my kids

'Cause he was a handful

2. Fill in the blank: "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift

So it's gonna be Christmas

Or it's gonna go poorly

You can tell me when it's time to open gifts

If the gifts were worth the trouble

Got a long list of people

They'll tell you thanks

'Cause you know I love the holidays

And you love the good food

3. Guess Who: What is the name of the famous male singer known for his smooth dance moves, who is also a judge on "World of Dance?"

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.
