Do you ever get that feeling when you hear a good song for the first time and instantly feel like the song is describing your life, instantly makes you want to dance, or reminds you of a specific memory? I feel that on a daily basis and it's super powerful.

Personally, I enjoy listening to rap and alternative music because they are on totally different spectrums, yet I can enjoy both of them equally. Rap helps me let loose of anything I'm worried about, while also bringing out the dancer in me when I go out or have random dance parties in my room. Alternative, on the other hand, is very soothing and mellow. I tend to listen to alternative music when I'm studying or when I'm in one of those sappy moods. There's no in-between when it comes to my music preferences.

Although music can help in many ways, I find it really crazy how one song can bring me back to a specific memory. When this happens I can remember the time, place and sometimes even the smell. It's freaky how powerful a song can be. Some songs can make you really happy or really sad all because of one specific memory.

If you look at Spotify for example, there seems to be a song out there for every mood you're encountering. It's relieving in a way to feel like you aren't the only one who's feeling a certain way because a specific song explains almost exactly how you're feeling. That's the beauty of music.

No matter how good or bad your day is, just remember you have some good ass music out there that can speak volume to you on so many levels way better than a person can most times.

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.

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.
