New Year, Better Me
itsecurityguru.org

Let me hop onto the New Years Resolution bandwagon, and then hitch that bandwagon to the "New year, new me" bandwagon, and then I'll hook that one onto the "I'm going to be healthy this year" bandwagon, because thats exactly what I'm doing.

I just want to be... better. Better attitude (okay yeah I'll probably still be a sarcastic, cat-loving asshole but that's not the point), better health choices, better stress management, better everything!

Okay, first thing first. The most important thing I want to better about myself in 2017 is my health. And yes, part of it is the cliche "I'm going to lose a bunch of weight" resolution, but it's also my overall health. I am that friend of yours who is ALWAYS (and I mean always) sick. I always have a stuffy nose, am coughing up a lung, or am just casually dying of some unidentifiable virus that no doctor actually knows how to help (this actually just happened to me, I'm not overreacting). I'm going to invest in a multivitamin and start taking that religiously. And on top of that I am going to start living a healthier lifestyle in terms of my relationship with food and exercise.

My attitude is usually fine, so I guess it's more focused on my attitude when I'm not fine, and how I process being upset. I don't want to keep my emotions pent up, so this year I am going to do my best to speak my mind (in the most polite way possible) whenever I am upset, so I don't have these negative feelings coursing through me. This also goes into my stress management issue, because as a college student I am stresssssssed. Less procrastinating, and I will make sure I find some time to unwind and take a load of.

This year is about me. Healthy body. Healthy mind. Healthy me.

So long 2016, I've welcomed 2017 with open arms!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
