The Sunny State

As the weather gets colder in upstate New York is it the time of year when the snowbirds head down to the sunshine state. Those people who we all wish we could be, fleeing the frozen roads and the air that hurts our faces to be where it is sunny and at least sixty degrees even when it rains. With there being forty-nine other states to pick from so many people choose to live in Florida based on six reasons.

The Weather- We all know that the weather is 100% better than the weather in upstate New York, if you can get past the hurricanes. With everyone spending months at a time in the sunny state there is no real reason why they would come back to New York once the tundra is over!

The Attractions- With Florida being such a large state there is there so much that you can do. From Disney world, to Universal studios, beaches, and food. There is enough places to keep you busy for a lifetime.

The Cost Of Living- The cost of living is a lot cheaper than any New York housing, with there being no state income tax the sunny state is a perfect and cheap place to live. Making it more desirable for the people who are dealing with a high tax and snow.

The Sports- Anyone who loves sports will love Florida, with many major league teams that are either based in Florida or practice during their off season in Florida there is so many games of all kinds to go a see.

The Job Market- With there being so many tourist that come to visit this state the economy does very well. With any job or field you wish to go into there is a higher chance than a lot of other states that you will get the job of your dreams.

The Nature- This state is not all amusement parks and beaches. There are a lot of wildlife tours that can be taken while in Florida too. Rafting with manatees, boating with dolphins, and even being feet away from crocodiles while fishing.


I think we can all agree that the snowbirds have the right idea about moving to Florida, even if it is only for a couple of months.

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.

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.
