Last Friday, while some clung to screens to watch the United Stated Presidential Inaguration, music fans around the world were given a new single from one of the best alternative artists in the last few years. Troye Sivan, an Australian Singer Song writer, has wowed listeners with past hits like YOUTH and WILD feat. Alessia Cara. The Release of his music video for the song HEAVEN feat. Betty Who meant more to Sivan and his fans than just another piece of artist work being published. The singer, previously known for his YouTube Channel, has been open about his support of the LBGTQA+ community since long before his coming out and the song HEAVEN shows it loud and clear.

The video shows iconic clips of supporters and couples as well as Troye intimately clung to a mans chest. The video is a beautiful portrayal of LGBTQA+ Support, and as a member of the community I am 100% here for his video and its controversial release date. The song itself, off his Blue Neighborhood album, is the same smooth sound that Troye is known and loved for. The lyrics are gold for anyone who has ever used the religious argument against LGBTQA+ love. The line "If i'm losing a piece of me, maybe I don't want heaven" definitely resonated with me and my thoughts on the idea that LGBTQA+ people cannot go to heaven. If this is in fact true and we are not allowed to love whom ever we want to love, then I don't want any part of that. Well done, Troye and thank you. Check out Troye Sivan's new Music Video for HEAVEN featuring Betty Who on YouTube and Vevo.

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.
