Recently I have been researching about the most successful Public Relations firms in the United States. My work entails finding who they are, researching their type of clients, and contacting them to propose partnerships. As I have been flying across the web looking for these firms, I have run across quite a few women-run firms. A large number of the 167 firms I looked up have women in the top positions. Many of the CEO's are women. And some of these firms have all of the listed staff members as women. This gives me such a happy feeling, to see that there are top-tier firms who are run by all women.

You can argue for diversity or working together with everyone and the need for men and women, and that is fine. I am not arguing against it. I simply think that seeing these successful companies filled with women as decision makers is monumental progress from the past, and it warms my soul. As I ran across various firms headed by and staffed by women, I was happy. However not all the news is good on this front. As Jennifer Risi points out in her Quartz Media article

, the PR industry is majority women throughout but with few women at the top. Think "Mad Men" and you will see images in your mind of the PR world in the 1950's USA, filled with men and only men at the top, with no future in sight for women in lead roles. Even if the scene is not perfect and there is still bias and inequality, at least the direction is positive, as Jennifer points out at her firm.

I have been intrigued by this exclusivity idea, since my girlfriend began to participate in an organization that celebrates and supports women in the construction industry. What a wonderful network, for women in an industry that was previously dominated exclusively by men. And now New Orleans is spotted pink with Demo Diva's trucks and wrecking sites. Men driving Barbie Pink construction trucks is such a fun sight to see.

It is not surprising to see schools filed with female teachers, and administrative offices too; but advertising and public relations is quite a big accomplishment. I am proud to see this success, both of women at the top and offices with only women. Some of those firms are RBB Communications, Hunter PR, Prosek, and Lane PR.

Be on the lookout for successful women in power and do not be afraid to support groups which exclusively aid women, because we all know that together we are stronger, and men do not need that same support, as the world is already carved out for them.

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.
