A Prayer For Your New Year
Laura Supnik

I think it’s pretty neat that even though time is just a agreement/illusion, that we still have goals and ambitions for the year that we use to better ourselves. I don't like that some people hate on New Years resolutions, I believe you're doing amazing by setting goals for the new year. I pray that all of your goals are met and that you exceed your expectations.

I pray that this year brings you genuine happiness. Everyone deserves to be happy. I know that we all go through so many different experiences that may not always be ideal, but it’s all for a reason. All your experiences will humble you later, you're going to go through so much. So whether or not you started your year off right, I hope you find positivity and happiness in everything. God has a plan for you.

I pray that you surround yourself with people who love and value you. You're worth so much!! Keep your circle filled with humans who want nothing but success for you.

I pray that 2018 brings you a lot of success. You cant expect success to be handed to you, so work hard towards your ultimate goal. Keep you goal in mind, envision it. You’ll have that sweet feeling of accomplishment one day!!

I pray that you grow outside of your comfort zone and that you find yourself. Growth is beautiful. I hope this year drives you to form your own options and try new things.

Most importantly I pray that you're healthy mentally and physically. I hope you treat your mind, body, and spirit with care and love. Self love is very real. Start showing yourself the love you would want others to show you.

I pray for everyone before myself because I know that even though it is very trendy to be “selfish” lately, and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing because it IS important to think about yourself first sometimes, compassion towards others is more fulfilling than anything else. It okay to be forgiving (given that you aren't repeatedly being hurt the same way by the same person), it’s okay to put others first, and it’s okay to let your guard down!! I pray for my family and my friends before myself. Pray for others and yourself because prayer is powerful.

I hope this year you take chances, find love, and make every day count.

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.
