It helps.

Write Because ...

If just a single word can change the course of a person's day, just think about what writing something more might lead to. Writing leads to an endless amount of thoughts for a reader, but starts with an endless amount of ideas by a writer. There are countless amounts of reasons to write and topics to write on. Writers think of reasons to write and topics to write about. Writing encompasses an endless capacity of ideas, and here is a list of reasons why you should write too:


1. Write because you're privileged enough to know how to.

2. Write because you have something to say.

3. Write because it helps express your thoughts.

4. Write because someone told you that you have the potential to be a great writer.

5. Write because someone told you you're no good at it.

6. Write because you're happy.

7. Write because you're angry.

8. Write because you need a new hobby.

9. Write because of the way it makes you feel.

10. Write because it inspires yourself.

11. Write because, sometimes, you need an escape.

12. Write because you need a moment to yourself.

13. Start writing by a word.

14. Write for yourself.

15. Write to inspire others.

16. Write because it matters.

17. Write because it helps.

18. Write a story.

19. Write a poem.

20. Write a few words a day.

21. Write 1,000 words a day.

22. Write when you want to.

23. Write because it feels good.

24. Write because it makes you happy.

25. Write fiction.

26. Write about reality.

The list of why you should write is never ending. The reasons are all so simple, yet, many people don't take the time out to write even the simplest of sentences. Writing is not something that has to be done on a daily basis, but on your own time and at your own leisure. Some people write fictional stories that take us through the journey of their imagination, while others write a more realistic story in their private diaries that take them through their own journeys. It does not matter how you write, what you write, or even how often you write, as long as you write. Whether you write to inspire others or yourself, it doesn't matter. All that counts is that your writing means something to you.

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:

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.
