My House Is Haunted

For as long as I can remember, we have had a ghost that lives in my house. Out of respect, I have changed her name to Judy. Judy died in our bathroom about 25 years ago. She's pretty nice. She does not do anything that's mean or malicious.

We did not have any major encounters with her and only the people that believed in her, saw her.

Anyways, we coexist.

She's pretty cool honestly and only shows up every so often.

My family got a new dog in January and she was not a fan of having a puppy around for sure.

Our last dog passed in July of 2018 and he was really calm for the most part. So when we got a new, very playful puppy, she made it known she did not really like him.

Judy was never mean to him by any means, but anytime it was just me and him in the house, he would start barking and growling at random things in the house. She would knock pictures and paintings off the walls.

I was sitting in the living room watching tv with my puppy sitting next to me. All of a sudden my dog got off the couch and starting barking at a painting on the wall. I got worried and started to grab him when the painting flew off the wall, falling to the ground.

Our house was the same house she lived in. We changed things here and there but for the most part, it was the same.

Recently, we started renovating our house, specifically first our bathroom (the one she passed in) so when we started doing that, she would get upset and throw things off of the countertops.

Once, my bag was in the middle of the countertop and there was no way it could have fallen off. But it somehow dropped to the floor with a lot of force.

Most people would be scared at the thought of a ghost living in their house, but I don't know, I am not too upset about it. She has never hurt anyone or the dog but she makes her presence known.

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.

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.
