Will Ferrell: Comedian, Actor, And Soccer Club Owner

We all know will Ferrell from his hilarious skits on "Saturday Night Live" or from the countless movies we know every line to, like "Step Brothers" and "Anchorman," but now we know him as a new part owner of a new soccer club in Los Angeles. That’s right, Will Ferrell -- alongside Mia Hamm and many others -- is an owner of Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC).

In Will Ferrell's 2005 movie, "Kicking and Screaming," we caught a glimpse at how adept he is in the world of soccer, but his love for the game goes far beyond his coaching abilities in the film. Will's wife played college soccer and his sons play now just like Will Ferrell did when he was a younger boy. So, it might have been hard to imagine Will Ferrell in this commanding position as an owner, but I think his experience and pure love of watching his sons and wife play for so long will drive him to be a great owner to deal with. He is now ready and excited to move his love for soccer onto a bigger scope and have a big role in this new soccer club. While there is already a team in LA, I feel that with this new leadership and especially having the hilarity of Will Ferrell, this new club should be a success and attract players from all over.

LAFC has just recently announced their colors and crest for the upcoming team that should be debuting in 2017. The colors are a beautiful black, dark gold, and splashes of red. Now, those are some awesome colors. The black has always been a staple of the LA Club, but the gold and red give it something new and exciting for this new team. In the crest, is a wing, which pays tribute to the City of Angels.

I already love soccer and I have my favorite teams, but with these colors, the crest and, of course, Will Ferrell I think I have found a new team to call mine. I cannot wait to see where the club goes, and what they have to offer in the next couple of years.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
