Attitudes for Valentine's Day

I have recently become addicted to the new series "This Is Us," starring Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia. If you have ever seen the show, you know that the storyline will pull on your heart strings, as the family bonds together to deal with difficult situations. The foundation of the family is from the parents played by Moore and Ventimiglia. Throughout the show, Jack and Rebecca, the parents, are the picture of an ideal relationship that every girl desires. As Jack heroicly provides and sacrifices for his family, Rebecca refers to him as "A freaking superhero." Every girl needs and wants a "Jack" in their life. Rebecca, in return to her husband's perfection, takes care of him and their kids.

There are three types of women when it comes to love. As Valentine's Day approaches, many women everywhere in the world are dreading the sight of watching their friends being swept off their feet with grand gestures from their "Jack." On the opposite side, the women who are in relationships are in a blissful romance, where they are living in their own little world. Of course, we can't forget those women who have sworn off men for good. Let me just tell you all this: it is okay to be in any of these phases of love. Rejoice with those who have found their "Jack," love those who are longing for him, and unite with those who want to live their life on their own.

Trust me, I do have a point to all of this. Ladies, especially now that Valentine's Day is here, it is important that we do not lose ourselves in our relationships. If you are dating, single, or never want to date, women need to realize that we are our own person, regardless of our relationship status. Even if you are in a relationship, your personality and life are not defined by your partner. Relationships or even friendships are for two separate personality types, who find common interests, to grow and learn from each other. Jack and Rebecca perfectly express the exact amount of giving and taking in a relationship.

Every girl, whether she wants to admit it or not, wants a Jack to be her husband. It will happen one day. If you haven't already found him, it's not in God's plan for you to meet him yet. If you have, congratulations, I rejoice with you in your happiness. So this Valentine's Day, love life, love your friends, love your family, and most of all love yourself. Go treat yo' self ladies!

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.
