Women Once Again Snubbed At Another Award Show

This was not the biggest night for music.

The 60th Annual Grammy Awards were broadcast live this past Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York City. This is the first time in 15 years the Grammys have been hosted outside of Los Angeles... and it won't be the last.

One word to describe this years Grammys is old. By the second hour I was already done watching but stayed to support SZAs performance. Ballads took over the night, unneeded performances, and James Corden promoting Carpool Karaoke. This was not the biggest night for music.

In a year where the Grammy nominees were most diverse you only saw one woman get on stage and accept an award (except Rihanna who won for Best Duo with Kendrick Lamar.)

SZA being the most nominated for five Grammys, sadly lost in every category. A woman who has brought R&B back to the front was snubbed by not only one category but five!!!


Kesha who put on a beautiful emotionally charged performance in honor of the Time's Up movement, was also snubbed last night. They worshipped her presence even though no one supported her when going through the Dr. Luke lawsuit last year.

Lorde, who was the only woman nominated for Album of The Year for her sophomore album Melodrama, was also snubbed. Not in the category but her performance, she sadly did not take the stage Sunday night.

Reports saying she wasn't given a solo performance like all of her male nominees. The Grammys did offer her a Tom Petty tribute but she declined.

Lana Del Rey and Lady Gaga are among the other women who were not recognized for their hard work in music.

Will the Grammys learn from these mistakes? Only time will tell...

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
