If you were to walk into the house of 514 Lowes at the University of Dayton on any 3rd Friday of every month, you would be welcomed by both students and faculty. Gathered around the large, curated walls, with the sound of live music booming throughout the home, this house - dubbed 'Campus Canvas,' showcases the artistic and musical talent of the University of Dayton's student body.

Campus Canvas is a special interest, student-run gallery tucked into the student neighborhood on the University of Dayton's campus. Established earlier this year, this gallery aims to showcase music, poetry and art from students of all different majors and backgrounds.

This gallery, which is home to not only art and music, but also 4 students, brings the serious and often elite feelings harbored towards galleries down a notch. By inviting fellow students, friends and faculty into their home, these students push for art and music to be experienced by a different community.

These 4 students, who call this gallery their home, aim to not only showcase art and music, but also bring the student body together for charity. In the name of special interest, Campus Canvas also utilizes their gallery and platform to raise money and awareness for the local charity, We Care Arts.

A non-profit organization, We Care Arts is a center located in Kettering, Ohio, that serves as an inspirational place for developmentally disabled adults and youth. This center provides a variety of art classes that promote acceptance, creativity and individuality. By selling artwork and various prints, Campus Canvas invites all visiting and performing students to donate to this sponsored charity - furthering the need for art and acceptance throughout the community.

Having already showcased a handful of student artists, Campus Canvas has become an established home in order to spread the love of art and music, as well as giving back. To find out more information on their artistic mission, check out their social media pages:

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.
