The Big Event is just around the corner for Florida State University and this year, they are kicking off with an event to get every club, every organization, every student the chance to make a difference in the Tallahassee community.

First you may be wondering what The Big Event is. It is one of the largest, one-day, student-run community service projects in the nation. Over 3,000 volunteers in the Tallahassee area show up to unite and serve the community that we all call home.

The big kickoff for The Big Event is happening Saturday, March 25TH starting at 8:30am at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. Speakers will include FSU President John Thrasher, Leon County Schools Superintendent Rocky Hanna, FSU Professor Mark Ziegler and other notable leaders in the community as well as entertainment provided by DJs and the Garnet and Gold Girls.

Directly after the initial kickoff, students and faculty from FSU and Florida A&M University and Tallahassee Community College will be assigned various community service projects all around the Tallahassee area and will work all day to see them to completion.

This event is something Florida State and the rest of the Tallahassee community look forward to each year and are looking for the best turnout yet this year, to get involved head to https://thebigevent.fsu.edu.

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.

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.
