To The Man Who Made Me Love My Favorite Hobby Again

I would not be where I am if it was not for you.

Thank you. If it was not for you, I would not have been able to enjoy playing at an arcade or beg my parents to take me to Dave & Buster’s whenever we were near a location. I would not have loved Dance Dance Revolution if I had not found you again. Seeing your videos on YouTube was not what I planned to do, but fate had other plans. I cheered for you when you got the highest score in the game. When you gave me a shout out to one of my favorite songs on there, I covered my mouth and felt myself blush, but I laughed and smiled afterward.

I had a crush on you too, but it was more of me looking up to you as an idol, and I have gotten over it. Being your friend now is something I will cherish for as long as I live. Also because of you, I would do my best to play DDR at an arcade and get a perfect score, since I am not too marvelous for the highest one. I take your advice to heart and will keep getting better and better until I can play the hardest songs in the game.

To think that I would come back to you from seven years ago is mind-boggling. I was only thirteen years old when I found you, and now here I am, twenty and a junior in college. I would not have met the friends I have now or have had a boyfriend if it were not for you. Because of you being a passionate and amazing person, I will forever remain your fan and friend.

Once again, thank you for returning to my life. Maybe one day we can meet up somewhere. Only time will tell.

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.
