@ATT is joining us in celebrating #Pride. Use the #WeAreBold hashtag and share a moment that explains how you live proud and AT&T will donate $1 to @glaad. My #wearebold moment is probably the day I told my agents, who basically threatened to drop me if I took the lead role on the then straight-to-DVD limited series called "Hot Chocolate," that I would no longer be needing their services. Leaving my agents for a non-paying gig was kind of a crazy thing to do, but the storyline and the characters spoke to me... and I had to follow my heart. The title of that show was eventually changed to #NoahsArc and two years later, the series was picked up by Logo. So... I think I made the right decision. What's your #WeAreBold moment?

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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?

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.
