We're not done standing with you.

Open Letter To Hillary Clinton

Dear Hillary,

Thank you for everything you have done during this election season. I feel like no one really took the time to appreciate your hard work, ability to smash down hatred, and be a constant positive force for the women around you. Unfortunately, the Elector College did not reflect that, but the American people did. Your strength and unabashed faith in America was not lost on the majority of the United States of America. It is a sad day for those American people.

While we may be in a state of mourning, I firmly believe that it is our duty to stand with you and not accept the possibility of an America where hate outweighs hope. Your loss has inspired me to take a stand and not be afraid to voice my opinions about the injustice. My friend Hannah told me something important yesterday, and I thought it was too well-said not to include it here. She said:

"Trump supporters are short sighted. They voted for a man promising to bring back an America which is never coming back. We will never return to an America when white men were king, where women bled our naked in motel rooms because they were trying to access abortion. An America where minorities feared for their lives, running from lynch mobs. We are not going back, and it's unforgivable that people in this country want to go back to a time when hate was law."

It is heinous and for the next four years we not be silent. We will continue to educate ourselves and better the America we want to live in. An America where people are not afraid to walk down the streets after our president has been elected because they have the potential to be harmed.

These are trying times and I look forward to seeing you in the political spotlight once more, a continued voice for the marginalized. Just know that I am behind you, and so is the majority of America.

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.
