The act of getting sick.

The mere amount of time it takes for a person to do one thing always seems to be exemplified; doubled, tripled, just amassed that much more to the point where trying to keep everything in check is no longer easy and gets out of hand. This is how I have been feeling lately. I have gotten sick and that one action has turned everything around. Why is it so easy to get sick, our bodies are basically supposed to defend itself but somehow the sickness surpass the will to not get sick or the will to become hurt. It’s a human trait although being sick is no minimal thing, it spreads and causes havoc to all the plans that were promised or the order that was supposed to go smoothly. The fleeting urge that is gotten when you don’t feel good and what transpires because of it. The sluggish feeling and being so drowsy and tired that it makes one feel even if they tried their best at something it still wouldn’t come out well. Being sick is a state of being so when you don’t feel well physically it seems to affect you mentally as well. The drawback of getting sick is that some people have a much stronger immune system build up around them then others, therefore certain people get sick more easily than others. When one gets sick generally others will worry about them because it means that their health will be affected overall, the other reason why people check up on one another. It is nice when someone is available to help take care of one another when they are sick as not everyone have the leisure time or time in general to set aside to take care of another and defending yourself and attempting to get better alone seems like the hardest thing to me. Support is the answer but if that is not accessible then the next best option would be to just take it slow and gradually get better with the aid of medicine and others. Getting sick is like a stump in the road a problem that prevents the capability of other things. It isn’t necessarily permanent but it can be. Sickness is something that halts another action.

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.

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.
