America's great neighbors to the North are known for their excessive kindness, so is anyone really surprised that Canada created the best ad of this campaign season? Canadian creative agency The Garden decided to cheer up the good U S of A during this particularly tense year by having Canadians #TellAmericaItsGreat while listing the many things that makes America great (doesn't that phrase sound familiar?).

"As their closest friends and neighbours, we thought it was important for us to do something to cut through the negativity and help remind them that no matter how bad things might seem, there are a lot of reasons to believe that America is still pretty great," said the creative agency in its post announcing the campaign. They accompanied the post with a video with multiple people listing triumphs in music (Biggie included), technology (the Internet) and much more.

And once the ball was rolling, Canadians from all over hopped on the bandwagon on Twitter.

They listed everything from the beginnings of America...

...to our victory over deadly diseases...

...to our ~true~ ruler, Queen B...

...and obviously our forreal HBIC. #ILYMichelle

Some people covered a lot in 160 characters...

...and fandoms were involved.

So thanks Canada, we really needed that.

We'll do our best to do you proud this upcoming election season.

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.
