One Rainy Morning

What Is The Scariest Thing That Ever Happened To You?

Blog Spot

I woke up one rainy morning around 10:30. There was nothing, but silence throughout my entire house, so I made my way down the hallway to see if anyone was up. No one was even home. No big deal. I decide to head downstairs and make some coffee only to realize that the coffee pot was completely full. I found myself to be overly pleased and excited. Anyway, I go to grab my favorite mug as I do every morning, but it's no where to be found. Okay - no big deal, I'm already over it, so I grab a random mug out of the cabinet. I start to pour myself some coffee, but it doesn't smell like coffee. It just smells like nothing. I just figured it wasn't strong. I mix in some half and half, a little sugar and I take a sip. Tastes like nothing. I'm confused as ever. I add more sugar. Tastes like water, but less than water. It tastes like absolutely nothing, but it's brown like coffee. I'm baffled. I laugh because this is so absurd. I go to the pantry where the coffee is usually kept, and the whole thing is empty. Nothing, but a few paper plates scattered, a box of brownie mix, and a half eaten roll of Ritz crackers. Mind you, this pantry is usually stacked with the best cereals, cookies, and snacks. But now - nothing. I go over to my puppy to fill his food bowl, but he wasn't there. He usually runs when he hears someone getting him food. So I fill his bowl, the usually puppy chow. Except, what comes out of the container is translucent. But I hear it hitting the bottom of the bowl. Translucent pellets hitting the bowl, but I see nothing! I start to panic, but I'm really hungry. So, I go to the fridge to grab a couple of eggs. I like them fried. The eggs feel completely hollow, but I don't think about it too much. I crack an egg onto the hot frying pan, and an already fried egg comes out of the shell. I grab my purse and leave the house in my mismatched pajamas and socks. Where the hell is my family? Am I right? I get in my car, and I am being way too calm. I have no idea why, because I just experienced everything peculiar happen. I drive up the street to the grocery store. Tons of cars there, as always, so I feel better. I walk in, no one is there. No one at all. The aisles are empty. EMPTY. I try to run out, but the automatic opening doors won't budge. I'm stuck in the empty grocery store. I took a quick nap on the cold tiles. When I woke up about 10 minutes later, some guy was trying to wake me up with an iced coffee in his hand. There was a bunch of people staring at me. I was so confused. The aisles were full again, the lines were long, and there were people. I run out to my car and go back home. Everyone is in my house enjoying their morning coffee.

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.
