If you're someone like me and love to scroll on Pinterest to search for fun new crafts, then you'll love this new craft-hobby-thing I found. I'll admit it looked annoying at first, but once I tried it I learned how much fun it was!

Paint with Diamonds, or Diamond Dotz is another brand, is a craft where you have itty bitty little gems that you stick to a sticky piece of fabric and form a picture with. Some are very very big, others are smaller or for a keychain.

The reason I love this new craft so much is that it's sort of mesmerizing to see how the little diamonds stick to the pad. There's something satisfying about the shimmering end result too.

I'm also a perfectionist and love being able to put things in their place. This is one of those crafts where everything lines up just right and creates a beautiful masterpiece that is super duper pretty.

This is a good gift for someone who loves crafts. Or if you're the crafty one and know someone who would like the end result, you could get it for you to make and give to them. I actually bought a Starry Night Van Gogh one for my mom that I made and gave her the finished product framed for Christmas.

Be careful with this though! If you have a cat or small children they may like to play with the "diamonds" and could swallow them. Or, you know, just scatter them everywhere and make a mess that you have to clean up. Then you pray to God that you have enough gems to finish with. I'm not bitter or anything.

I digress. If you feel that you're in need of a new hobby: this is what you need. Just go to your nearest craft store (or order a custom image online!), throw on some music, and get to work. Trust me. You won't regret it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
