Three Things You Need To Try For Your Next Girls Night

Throughout quarantine, one of the things I have missed the most is having girls nights with my friends. Luckily, I am fortunate enough to have outdoor space at my apartment that can accommodate a friend or two, and with social distancing and mask wearing, a girls night is most definitely possible if it is within your quarantine circle. After recently planning one, I took to Pinterest to find some fresh ideas in terms of how to plan, and I'm very pleased with the results I found.

Rosé Strawberries

Rosé strawberries are such a simple, delicious treat that will satisfy everybody's sweet tooth. Soak your strawberries in rosé wine for about 15-30 minutes, and once they are removed from the wine, coat with sugar and plate to serve. This is such an easy snack to make, and it is relatively inexpensive. Pro tip: purchase a bottom shelf wine to soak your strawberries in. Since you won't actually be drinking it, you can save a few dollars and buy a less expensive bottle of wine.

Charcuterie Board

This dish can become a little pricey in terms of buying ingredients, so I highly recommend shopping at Trader Joe's for some great deals. One of my favorite things about charcuterie boards is that you have the freedom to include any ingredients you want, and by doing so you can easily cater to everyone's tastes. Start with your essentials of cheese, crackers and a choice of meat, and then layer on fresh fruits, vegetables and anything else your heart desires.

Boxed Wine

Boxed wine may not be a new addition to your girls night itinerary, but in terms of my own planning, I found Franzia's "Sunset Blush" wine to be a helpful purchase. Each bag of wine serves 34 glasses, and given that it is quarantine, you will likely be having less guests at your outdoor event. With that being said, Franzia will provide you enough leftovers for your next girls night!

Though times are incredibly challenging right now and we all miss our friends, there are definitely ways to properly social distance outdoors and enjoy their company. Remember to wear your mask when you are not eating and drinking. As for the rest, enjoy planning your girls night and creating some new treats!

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.

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.
