Every senior's prom has been cancelled due to the coronavirus. Some seniors have been lucky enough to have their prom rescheduled. Others have not been so lucky. On April 17th, John Krasinski and other celebrities came together to try to make this current situation better for the class of 2020.

I love The Office. I have for quite some time. I have rewatched all nine seasons 13 times. So when I heard John Krasinski, who played Jim on The Office, was hosting an online prom for the class of 2020, I was in. I wasn't sure how he was going to host an online prom. After watching it I can say he did not disappoint.

When I logged on to his live video, it took a while for him to get started. Once he got on, the party started. He played some music and Rainn Wilson joined. Rainn plays Dwight on The Office and I personally find him hilarious. John started to play a song by Chance the Rapper and Rainn told him that he needed permission from the artist to play their song. Of course, Chance the Rapper popped on and they all started dancing to Chance's song.

After Chance the Rapper's song, John and Rainn were joined by the Jonas Brothers. The Jonas Brothers have been one of my favorite groups since Camp Rock came out. They performed their song "Sucker" and one of my favorite songs. Even though I wasn't there to physically watch them, I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Being able to see John, Rainn, Chance the Rapper, and the Jonas Brothers try to give the class of 2020 an online prom made me feel better, but John didn't stop there. Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas, came on to perform "bad guy", which is also one of my favorite songs. Their video lagged a little bit but it was still great.

There was even an after party. D-Nice hosted it on his Instagram live. He played a great variety of music. I listened to it while I was doing math homework and it put me in a better mood.

Sadly, the online prom only lasted about 40 minutes. But, John Krasinski went out of his way to give the class of 2020 their senior prom. Even though it wasn't the real thing and I wasn't able to experience it with my class, the online prom meant a lot. It was a safe and fun alternative to my senior prom. I was able to enjoy myself and see some of my favorite actors and singers while staying at home and preventing the spread of the coronavirus.

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.
