American gymnast, gold and silver medalist at the Rio Olympic Games, and contestant on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" Laurie Hernandez has taken the world by storm as the most lovable, adorable, amazing, you-wish-you-were-her teenager. At just 16, the young lady has a gold medal from the Olympics, a chance at the "Dancing With the Stars" mirror ball trophy and over 1.5 million followers on Instagram. So here's a list of seven reasons why she is so cool and amazing.

1. She's the human emoji!

2. Team Valaur

Laurie Hernandez is paired with dancer Val Chmerkovskiy on "Dancing With the Stars" and the two are the perfect match. They make the absolute cutest DWTS couple ever and are so funny together!

3. Michael Jackson...

The two danced to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" as their fourth performance on the show and got the first perfect 10's of the season! Laurie received incredible feedback from the judges after nailing the dance and was speechless when she found out the score!

4. Her Instagram.

If you've ever even glanced at Laurie's Instagram, you would know that it is filled with adorable, hilarious videos of her and her partner Val. The videos mostly feature the two goofing around in the dance studio having a blast. Some of the most watched videos are "That's Too Much Sauce" and "Lebron James."

5. It's takes two to...

While preparing to perform a challenging tango on the show, Val asked Laurie "It's about a relationship between two people because it takes two to..." "Make a thing go right?" "No it doesn't take two to make a thing go right, what does it take two to?" "It takes two to tango." This moment has been played over and over in interviews because of how funny Laurie is in it.

6. The quesadilla

Before going on stage to perform their tango, Laurie was struggling to find a way to show such mature emotion. But just in time she had a "light bulb moment" and figured out that she needed to pretend like she was smelling a really good quesadilla during the dance. This technique actually helped her remain safe from elimination that week! The picture above is Laurie imitating what it looks like to smell a quesadilla.

7. Most influential teen

Laurie Hernandez was named one of TIME Magazine’s most 30 influential teens. The story included the topics of the Olympics, "Dancing With The Stars" and her influence on young Latina girls.

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.
