5 Reasons To Print Your Photos Instead Of Leaving Them In Your Camera Roll

I stand by my opinion that printed photos are the best photos.

I'm a big proponent of pictures. I love taking them wherever I go, and my camera roll is full of cute photos I've taken throughout the years (I actually had to invest in a subscription to Dropbox because I had too many!). While I love having pictures on my phone, sometimes it just doesn't feel like enough. While some people might call it old school, I really love printing my pictures out and having them on paper! It's easy to use them for decoration or just hold onto them for a rainy day, and it's super easy to print them!

1. They'll actually last

Printing photos means you have them for life. Even if your computer or phone shuts down, you won't lose the precious photos that you probably spent ~too~ much time taking in the first place. If you took the time to take them, you might as well print them too!

2. It's inexpensive

Giphy

Printing photos at CVS or Walgreens can cost as little as $0.23, they tend to offer deals if you buy them in bulk, and you can do it at your local store! You'll inevitably need to stop in the drug store to pick up a prescription or a bottle of shampoo at some point, so you might as well print them while you're there.

3. It adds ~flare~ to any room

Whether you want to invest in a nice frame to put in your living room or tape them up on the walls in your dorm room, pictures add easy decor to any room. Think about the money you'd have to spend to get a cute sign- when you could make it look just as good for less than $1!

4. It allows you to showcase the people you love

Pictures are a great way to reminisce on old times with people who you love, or to show them how much you care about them when they visit your place! And besides, you'll have plenty of pictures with the people you're closest with, so it'll be easy to find ones to print.

5. They're great gifts

Giphy

Need a gift for a friend and don't wanna spend absurd amounts of money? A picture says more than money ever could- it shows you actually CARE about them and took the time to find a picture that shows It! So bring on the sentimental moments and maybe some ~tears~ for your friend's birthday this year- you'll be glad you did.

5. You can get ~fancy~ with your printing

Giphy

You don't just have to stick to paper prints- you can print your pictures on canvases, calendars, cubes, even mugs! You could personalize pretty much anything with a picture, so get crazy and get printing!

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.
