Let's set the scene.

An Old Movie With A Good Song
Although I ain't good enough..

A few days ago I started to tend to cleaning and I started humming. It was a different type of hum. I was humming notes to a song I didn't know. It was like I unconsciously tapped into my childhood and remembered a song. It wasn't like a Bob the builder song or Aladdin singing to my soul. No. It was something deeper than that, like Beyonce singing to my soul. I remembered it was before she got plagued by the illuminati, it was a simpler time and had a tint of church to it. Finally I remembered: It was from the movie Fighting Temptations. Alright let's set the scene.

In this mess of beautiful harmony, you have the sweet version of Beyonce with big names like Cuba Gooding Jr, Lou Myers, Angie Stone and Mike Epps (before his Netflix Special).

The story is about a gospel choir going to a national competition. Before going to the competition, they must build a choir. Dysfunctional people join together to form dysfunctional groups and the hilariousity that exhibits itself from that. For example, in the choir, some people are wearing robes, and others aren't wearing robes. I'll leave it up to you to figure out why. Some way somehow, they actually pull off the competition and sing well. A few things to note before listening:

1. The redneck dude go HAM on the organ.

2. There are three inmates in the choir, they wear bright orange jumpsuits.

3. The biggest, scariest inmate is a countertenor.

4. Tambourine player is killin the game!

Ah, yes. That was the tune in my head. I thought someone needed the message in this movie. Besides, It's nice to remember 2003 Beyonce before Formation happened.

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.

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.
