Ariana Grande is quickly becoming the biggest pop star in the world. She has shattered streaming records and album sales with her fourth album, titled "Sweetener". This album is one of the most beautiful works that I have ever listened to and it is all about self-care.

The most notable tracks tell a story many can relate with. "get well soon" and "breathin" explain the feelings that come with anxiety, as well as a first-hand account of an anxiety attack. Her biggest hit off the album, "no tears left to cry" channels a situation when you're done with the drama and are ready to focus on good vibes.

The song "successful" lets fans know that it's OK to be happy with what you've accomplished and to share that with the world. This track is refreshing because society says not to talk too much about personal successes, as it may come across as bragging. But, as shown in this song, there's nothing wrong with being proud of yourself.

There are many more inspiring anthems that tell a very true narrative of how hard life can be, yet how beautiful it truly is when you step back and take it in. Grande aims to spread more light and positivity, a goal she set following the terrorist attack at her concert in Manchester last year.

"Sweetener" is an album that stands out among others because it is not just a bunch of love songs, as you see with most others. It is full of dreamy melodies and vocals that let you know it's OK not to be OK, the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself, and that the best thing you can do is try to brighten an otherwise dark situation.

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.
