No One Is Going Nuts Over Anything

Believe it or not, we were actually able to stay calm for a whole day.

Every minute of every day we are bombarded by news bulletins about the latest controversy or scandal that's swept the nation. One minute there's a new celebrity being burned at the stake or online Twitter battles about some inane thing that people will forget about within a few hours. None of us have been able to catch a break, and it seems like ever since Trump took office, everyone's been upset about something. However, this past weekend, the world was singing a different tune for the first time in what feels like forever.

We all woke up last Saturday to the chirping of birds outside our window, which was weird, because some places don't have any native songbirds. Our morning could only be described as a Disney princess'. Our skin was clear and we felt refreshed and hydrated. All sadness had dissipated from our mind, and all we could think of was how we were going to send out positive energy into the world. What would this beautiful day have in store for us? Our day continued like this. No one was stressed or anxious or angry about anything. It was...odd. There were no fights on social media, no sad news and no complaining.

However, as soon as Saturday passed, we were all back to our old, grouchy selves. Everything was as it has always been. Upon being asked what caused this strange phenomenon, scientists simply laughed, shook their heads and whispered collectively in a hushed voice "Aliens." Regardless of the cause, I think all of us are grateful for the one day of peace that our alien overlords allowed us to have.

*Disclaimer: This is a joke/satire. Everyone knows that world peace, even for a day, is the stuff of science fiction.*

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.

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.
