Have you ever been invited to a party and had to bring something, but had no idea what to bring? What about a family gathering? It seems that every time you have an idea of what to bring, either someone else is bringing it or it is just too expensive to make. Sometimes, we all have those lazy moments where we just don’t feel like making anything homemade. Well, lucky for you, I have a recipe that is a favorite at a party or any type of gathering that I will gladly throw in this article!

Those thoughts about what to bring are the absolute worst. It’s like you contradict yourself a million times before you settle on something to bring. Most of the time, we just buy it from the grocery store and say that, that’s fine. It absolutely is. I have done that plenty of times myself. Although, don’t you ever get that craving to make something, so you sit and look in a cook book for the perfect recipe? Then you get frustrated because you don’t know what you want to make. I think that we all have had those moments at least one time. It definitely is frustrating, I agree 100%. This is why I am going to include the recipe for fajita dip! It is one of the most popular dips that you can bring to any type of gathering or party! Here it is:

Fajita Dip

Ingredients:

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 ½ lb lean ground beef

1 – 16 oz bag frozen chopped peppers and onions, thawed

1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped

2 – 1.12 oz packs fajita seasoning mix

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 – 12 oz can original diced tomatoes and green chilies, not drained

1 cup sour cream

2 – 8 oz packages cream cheese

1 – 8 oz bag shredded Colby jack cheese

1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a five-quart pot or dutch oven on medium heat. Add the ground beef, thawed onions and peppers, and jalapeno. Cook until the meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender (about 12-14 minutes). Add the seasoning packs and pepper, then stir until fully incorporated. Add the can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, sour cream, and cream cheese. Cook covered, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes. Add the shredded Colby jack cheese and cook until melty and warm. Stir in chopped cilantro. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy it with your favorite dippers.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
