Transitioning from young adult to adulthood

We live in a world today where your age really doesn't make you mature, you can be "old" and have a young mentality or "young" with an old mentality. It all just depends on the environment that you were raised or brought up in. For instance, a child star who has grown up in the spotlight and is trying to prove that they are grown by doing what they think grown people do. They change their appearance, they start going out to clubs, or changing the group they hang with to fit in. I remember transitioning into adulthood after high school and thinking to myself the stuff my fellow peers was starting to do, I had already had those experiences. Then on top of that I had a blueprint before me of what not to do. So when KeKe Palmer started stepping into her own I was excited to see her growth and how she would develop into an even greater entertainer. But with the recent chain of events I'm very perplexed with her. When you come from a certain pedigree there are certain things that I believe you shouldn't do. Your talent speaks volumes over what any hater or critic has to say about you until you cross a line to where we can't recognize who you are. KeKe should've never engaged in a twitter war with a reality star who talent is only running her mouth and starting fights. She also should have never put one of her peers on blast because she didn't agree with what he did when you had his phone number and the chance to leave. I understand we believe that we are suppose to evolve each year we are alive which is true, but there is something that we can and should be able to identify you by. You can't keep crying wolf when you put yourself in a situation where it could have turn out different. It's sad that people can't express themselves without being put into a box and labeled as whatever they want to label you as. But in certain aspect of live you have to careful how you project yourself so that line can't ever be cross. Like Meaghan Good she was a child star and until recently when she did documentary about her life that people really knew what she went through, and her transition was gradual and not forced. All I'm trying to say is march to the beat of your own drum.

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.

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.
