PSA: Always Hold The Door

Why is Hodor not an internet sensation?

PSA: Always Hold The Door

For me, every Sunday night consists of two things. One: ice cream, because obviously Sunday is ice cream day. And two: "Game of Thrones." If I, for some horrific reason, get bitten by a shark, attacked by the mafia, get struck by a subway train or have some other horrible accident and am forced to miss my Sunday night GOT ritual, I unintentionally hear all about what I missed. I cannot go a single Monday without hearing the spoilers all about the episode I had missed. This obviously ruins everything!

Two weeks ago, after the Hodor episode, I thought social media would be filled with "hold the door" GIFS, tweets, and pictures. But I was extremely disappointed. I'm not sure whether or not people were so upset about the ending of that episode to poke fun at the hilarious yet saddening ending. When coming to work the next day I did not hear one comment about Hodor's courageous attempt to protect Bran. I felt as though this pivotal point in this season of GOT was underestimated.

Personally, my sister and I cannot get enough of this "hold the door" moment. Every time we leave the room, close the door, walk out of a restaurant, or do anything remotely involving a door one of us obnoxiously bellows, "Hold the door!" After laughing at ourselves for 10 minutes each time we finally realized what exactly social media is lacking. Working at Odyssey, I read hundreds of articles each week, and did not read a single one about Hodor.

It was after this realization that I decided that everyone needs some more Hodor in their lives.

Every "Game of Thrones fans" feeling toward doors.

So my question is, why hasn't "Hold the door," become a national phenomenon? I'm waiting to see the neverending Tumblr, Insta, and Twitter memes. Come on, people!

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.

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.
