I remember as a little kid getting in the car with all friends for dance class. We of course had our own secret handshake to pump us up. During this handshake, we always sang a song we made up to the music of Hannah Montana's "Best of Both Worlds." Belting out every word of our song was my happiness, I just loved how each and every one of my friends was smiling and happy.

The sensations around me created an experience that I will always remember. This memory makes it important for me to continue the tradition of pump-up music. Everyone has senses, but these senses are stimulated differently for everyone. Similarly, everyone is stimulated by music, but the type of music stimulant is different for everyone.

For me, I like listening to songs about remembering to be myself–remembering to trust myself–remembering to motivate myself. The following songs stimulate my senses:

1. My Shot by Lin-Manuel Miranda

2. This is Me by Keala Settle


3. Always Be Together by Little Mix

4. Boomerang by The Summer Set

5. Non-Stop by Lin-Manuel Miranda

I enjoy how each of these songs naturally takes breaths during pauses but is also upbeat. It is most important to breathe whether it be during dance class or exams.

Breath relaxes you and increases your focus. With a breath, you can create more energy for yourself and allow yourself to excel through the details of each question. Whether it be a hand cramp during an essay or a mind-block during multiple choice, breathing will relieve this tension. These songs stimulate my mind to go, go, and go before my exams so I can learn more, more, and more.

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.

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.
