It seems as if there is nothing to talk about now other than the election, and frankly I'm sick of hearing about it. Here are 26 things to do other than talk about the election.

1. Eat a nice meal

3. Go to a pet store and look at puppies and kittens

4. Bake a cake

5. Watch a movie

6. Go on a road trip

7. Take a nap

8. Read a book

9. Go on a shopping spree

10. Make a list of things you could be doing besides talking about the election

11. Call your parents

12. Go explore a city

13. Walk a dog

14. Listen to some new music

15. Learn to play a new instrument

18. Learn a new language

19. Call an old friend

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.

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.
