Watch "Won't You Be My Neighbor" During Quarantine

I like to explore a lot. I don't like sitting in the same spot all the time. If I don't keep my mind productive I get a whole lot of anxiety about everything I could be doing. It is overwhelming and it is hard to sometimes focus on stuff because of it. When I write I'll go out of my way to go to a Barnes and Noble or a Library just to have some ambient noise and a change of scenery when I'm writing. I haven't seen this movie since theatres which surprises me since it was my favorite film of 2018. I just felt like I needed a special time to rewatch it and I certainly got one. When I saw this in theatres was one of the most stressful times of my life and when I watched this tonight I was also in a weird place. When this movie started tension started to fall off my shoulders. This movie is pure comfort and a reminder that yes- good people still exist and will continue to.

This movie is one of the ones that will always refuel my passion for creating stuff and putting my projects out there. I know some of my ideas can be odd and I can even poke fun at how awkward I can be and I do have self doubts about myself. This is a good mirror to show that even Mr. Rogers himself had these issues but was able to find himself and find a unique avenue to actually help people. I realized after watching this movie for the first time that I wanted to be a helper through my art and writing. I wanted people to know they were okay and we could all bond over our own struggles to understand the human connection.

Tonight I needed that reminder, I was put on this Earth to be a helper and that wasn't gonna be an easy task. Stupid stuff is always gonna get in the way but there's a reason all of us are here. After the movie my mom said, "Mr. Rogers was such a patient guy." and I replied, "Yup." She went on to say, "You know, I bet what he would say right now. That the Government was just worried about us and taking extra precautions to keep us safe and to just relax and read a good book."

Yeah that's the comfort I needed tonight. God bless this movie

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.

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.
