These are a few of my favorite things.

It's finally through October, which means we're already closer to Christmas. The only real date on my calendar. This month has been a climax in my growth and here's all the serums, supplements, and spells that added to it.

The monthly Spotify playlist. This one is a mash-up of alternative, feely tunes from voices like Boy & Bear and The Black Keys. I highly recommend that you listen while you read, it's the new whistle while you work.


This article: http://thoughtcatalog.com/rachel-c-lewis/2013/12/t.... This short and sweet piece essentially designs the beauty in being desperate. There is no guarantee of any timeline and it is absolute nonsense to wait to send a text or deny someone of their own love. "Tell The People You Love That You Love Them." It's that simple.

Being home. Literally just driving home and being there. It's easy to get used to the every day and disconnect from your roots, for that's what we are bred to do. We just take a little longer than the average bird. Recently, I've found peace just being home around food and love you just can't get anywhere else. No store, no friend, no dog on Twitter. I'm encouraging everyone to go get themselves some home every now and then!

Now And Then. This movie is basically the girl version of The Sandlot. These 4 girls grow old together one summer when they are young and then grow young together one evening when they're old. They're vastly different in personality but have this serious bond that I don't even know if I've experienced. Respect. But seriously, a must watch. 10/10.


Lang Leav. As a writer, I seriously admire people with mad skills. And this girl has mad skills. Her words have pulled me into a downward spiral and I'm apologizing in advance if this does the same to you. (Have a box of Kleenex in arms reach.)

 


Halo Top- Peanut Butter Cup. This stuff changes lives. It's like the best parts of a Reese's with muted calories and less guilt. I'm eating some as I'm writing this and my fingers are practically splashing in the dripped remnants and I'm not mad about it. Seriously go to the grocery and indulge in as many flavors as possible. If this one doesn't make you jazzed, there are far more new flavors here, The Scoop on our Pints.

Coins. These things actually do change lives. It might sound weird, but I've had a recent obsession with these little guys. They're not fragile like paper and they're not as easy as a chip in a card. They're historical and I love it. One day we'll probably trade air and call it currency, so this is the closest thing to giant stones right now. I love to collect them in my car and have them for spare parking meters or toss a few extra coins into a basket for hungry dogs. Sounds little, but what ya could do ya should.

Tune in a month from now to see the new new.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
