Calling all book lovers and wine enthusiasts — Barnes and Noble announced that they’d be introducing wine into their food menu in select locations. What’s better than cozying up with a new book and a glass of merlot? Not many things. They will begin testing these new menu items (wine and beer) within the next year, and the first B&N to open their doors to wine enthusiasts will be their location in Eastchester, New York. After that first test location, they plan to open three more in California, Minnesota, and Virginia. So, in honor of this exciting expansion, I’ve created a short list of the best wine and book genre pairings.

Genre: Horror.

Type: Red, Malbec.

Usually described as firm and bold, it makes a good fit for the suspenseful horror novels sitting on the shelves just waiting to be picked up.

Genre: Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

Type: White, Pinot Grigio.

Crisp and tart, Pinot will give you enough flavor to appreciate the wine, but won’t distract you from the story’s plot.

Genre: Crime/Mystery.

Type: Red, Sangiovese.

Sangiovese is wine known to hold a smokey flavor, perfect for the setting within these mystery books, usually a smokey room or type of cigarette is found within the book.

Genre: Romance.

Type: Rose, Zinfandel.

A still blush wine would go great with the smooth and soft romance of a particular novel, and as the plot line thickens, your cheeks will turn the same shade as the wine.

Genre: Humor.

Type: Sparkling Moscato.

The bubbles in this sparkling wine will be quite fitting for the type of bubbly humor found inside the book.

Genre: Self Help.

Type: White, Riesling.

Flat and tart, it’ll help you be able to focus more on the writing of the book and reflect on your own personal life as opposed to a deep red that demands attention.

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.

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.
