Water may not be the "tastiest" drink on the planet, but it is the most essential. I have always had a hard time trying to drink enough water. I never had the desire to and would always choose another beverage before drinking water. Recently since I have been at college, I have realized the importance of it. Drinking enough water throughout my day can seriously make or break how I end up feeling. I probably still don't drink enough water, but I am trying. I thought I could help encourage some of you to drink more water by listing all of the amazing things water does for us.

Keeps you hydrated

Clears up your skin

Makes you happier

Honestly! Water actually makes you less cranky because you won't be dehydrated and will feel a lot more energized.

Helps your body maintain homeostasis

Flushes out toxins

Makes your skin glow

Prevents cancer

Studies have shown that it can help prevent some types of cancer.

Helps maintain your weight

Prevents headaches

 Helps you perform better

 Lubricates your joints

This will help with anyone who may have joint pain.

 Delivers oxygen throughout the body

 Regulates body temperature

 Keeps you alive!

Now, if those reasons are not enough to get you drinking more water, then I don't know what can. If you are curious about how much water you should drink a day, there is information all over the internet. There are even apps that can track the amount of water you have had each day.

Best of luck and drink up!

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.
