To The Musician Who Changed My Life
Sparrow Fulford

From a child on up I always was a dreamer. I never thought anything would be able to stop me from obtaining any goals. I have never left anything stop me from reaching the result that I would envision. Then I met someone who completely tore me down. I was discouraged from trying new adventures. I never had the freedom to reach for the stars without being constantly told that it was impossible or just a waste of time. I was mentally abused and had no idea that it was happening.

My dreams and goals were just thoughts at this point of my life. I had been convinced that everything that I was working toward was all a big joke. Seeing disappointment in my parent’s eyes was heart-breaking and confusing at the same time. It was confusing to me because I truly did not understand what I was doing wrong. I did not see that I was throwing everything I worked for in the trash. I was also heart-broken because my parent’s opinion of me means everything, making them proud is part of my job.

They saw what took me a long time to see. They saw my potential just being disregarded because I was only doing tasks to the bare minimum. During this current stage of my life, I thought that being saved was just a fantasy. I never thought I would be able to fight back. You would never think that someone who accidentally spilled a drink on you would change your life forever. My heart and mind were completely shut down before I met you. I had no hope of returning not only to who I used to be, but a better version.

At first I was moved by your music. I could relate to the story being told in your lyrics and I did not feel alone anymore. Knowing someone else has experienced the current feelings I feel is comforting. You have a tone that is highly original and that is what caught my attention to begin with. The emotion and theatrics that I can feel in every song you sing gives me goosebumps throughout my body. Aside from your voice of an angel, I got to know you on a personal level. After talking to you for a few hours, I felt like I have known you for years. We connected in an unexplainable way. Without you I am not sure where I would be today.

You have inspired me to be spontaneous and crave adrenaline. I feel complete again. You showed me that I have an intellect that I should not keep to myself, rather embrace it. Feeling the consistent support from you is incredible. I could never have enough words or the right words to thank you. I have since then, progressively brought myself back to who I used to be. I am constantly striving to experience new things as well as accomplish goals that bystanders view as impossible. You gave me a purpose again.

You showed me that who I was is certainly not who I wanted to be. Cheers to you for changing my life, and I am sure many more that you are not even aware of.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
