If you haven't noticed, with less than a month left until the Presidential Election (and other important political elections), it's gotten a little stressful to be on social media. All sorts of people on Facebook and Twitter are actively trying to tell you exactly what to think, new outlets are hyperfocused on both candidates, and in general everyone is ready for November 8th to come and go. I think the whole world is too. Lucky for us, we seem to have some pretty cool neighbors to our north - Canada has launched the #TellAmericaItsGreat initiatve to encourage us Americans during the trial that is election season. This incredible movement was started by this video from The Garden North America:

The video's hashtag caused a movement on Twitter of support and encouragement radiating from our friendly Canadian neighbors. They've emphasized many amazing pieces of American history and current day pop culture. Here are some of the highlights of their fantastic movement:

1. Science Fiction series...

2. This hodgepodge of love (and food!)...

3. Our medical advances...

4. Our Declaration of Independence...

5. Our American Literature...

6. Our technology...

7. Our TV shows (and food!)...

8. NASA (and food!)...

9. This self explanatory comic universe...

10. Our sports and Disney (and food!)...

11. Our kick butt Parks and Recreation departments...

12. Our cities and FLOTUS...

Needless to say, we're a bit loved by our northern neighbors. From our natural landscapes to our incredible people to our taste in music and medical advances - Canada sees a lot to love about America. We were all a little misty eyed reading their compliments. If you want to see more of their amazing compliments, check out @staygr8america on Twitter! They also have a website that you can find here! I guess that all we have left to say is #TellCanadaThankYou!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
