After competing in pageantry for three years, you catch yourself saying or doing some pretty different things… here is a list of the 20 most common things I would say during my reign...

  1. The smell of a fresh spray tan can be relaxing
  2. You are more than one type of "extension" (eyelashes, hair, etc.)
  3. When you are late to an event and you perfectly put on your crown at the red light without having to look at yourself
  4. You think to yourself "Wow, I hope I can fit into this gown today"
  5. Cat Woman? Do you mean Miss America 1955 Lee Meriwether?
  6. When you have 80 pageant moms and they all rush over for that local titleholder picture you get at the end of a crowning ceremony
  7. When 5k's become your Saturday morning ritual

  8. Updating your boyfriend during local pageants on how the girls are doing and who is winning even though he has no idea what you are talking about, but he plays a long
  9. Constantly having to explain to people which organization was owned by President Trump and involved the Steve Harvey accident
  10. "I brought like 3 bottles of butt glue and yes girl, of course, I will help you apply it."
  11. We are "titleholders", not queens or princesses
  12. When you drink a large Redbull on pageant day but want to be "healthy" so you make it sugar-fre



  13. You will always have 1 bobby pin in your hair even when you do not even realize it
  14. Need some quick energy? Here are 5 chocolate covered espresso beans
  15. You know it is a good day when you can feel your feet after a long weekend of wearing Chinese Laundry heels
  16. Eating a doughnut and saying state prep starts tomorrow
  17. When you have 6 personal social media accounts and 6 titleholder accounts and you cannot even keep up with yourself
  18. When you get distracted by that one cute judge on the panel (let's not lie to ourselves ladies)
  19. Nothing is more embarrassing than falling in sash and crown

  20. And saving the best for last, your love for children grows immensely and so does your love for the community you serve. You are thankful for the opportunity you have been given every day.

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.
