Shit Italian Dads Say

The Italian father is a unique breed. He's part protective lion, king of the jungle and part teddy bear, cub of mamma. One of the characteristics that most Italian fathers have is their willingness to say whatever is on their mind, often without consideration for the consequences. We say, "All the better." These outbursts bring us laughter and usually make our Italian fathers all the more charming. Here is a list of stuff our Italian fathers say:

I have a guy

This guy

Let me tell you the deal

Don't touch the sauce! Don't stick your finger in your mothers sauce *(he says as he dunks the bread into the sauce to taste it)

Your not going out dressed like that

Your not going out with them

NO BOYS

OHHHH or EHHHH

Listen to your mother

This doesn't happen in Italy

Not at the dinner table

OHH open your eyes!

Watch for this guy

Ok you call me when you get there

Did you see my tomatoes

Back in the old country

Where you think your going

If you don't call me Im gonna come to their house and bang down the door and you won't be happy

Shut your mouth

The godfather is very educational pay close attention, take notes.

Do your homework or I'll break your face

No dating until your 30 and married

You better stop complaining or I'm gonna give you something to complain about

You hungry? Me to, go make something

I love youse never forget that

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:

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.
