Which is the better music streaming service?

There has been one certain question on a lot of people's minds lately about two music streaming services: Spotify and Apple Music. I personally prefer Spotify over Apple Music, but some people are still debating whether to make the switch to either company. Here are some of the details that are compared between the two:

Music Library

Spotify advertises that they have over 30 million songs to choose from (minus songs of course from artists like Taylor Swift), and Apple Music says they have around 30 million. However, Apple Music does include Taylor Swift, so since she has such a huge fan base, that one factor can shift one's choice.

New Music Choices

Spotify has an option called "Discover Weekly", which is a playlist updated every Monday of songs that have been personalized by songs previously listened to on Spotify. Apple Music does a similar thing, where when a user first creates an account, they are asked to name some of their favorite artists and this makes suggestions for them too. However, this sounds a little bit too much like what Pandora does.

Radio

A similar feature that Pandora has that these services are using is a radio. On Spotify, users can choose to listen to a station of music that is similar to a specific artist, and it will make a huge playlist of songs and artists that the user can choose from. On Apple Music, they only have exact stations by specific DJs that are playing 24/7, and you can't choose the music like you can on Spotify.

Price

Ah price, a very important factor. Apple Music and Spotify is the same price at $10 a month, However, Spotify does offer a special to students that if they use their student email address, it is only $5 a month. Apple Music also has a family deal for $15 a month that can include up to 6 accounts in a package.

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.

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.
