Nothing but the truth...

Yes I Am 21 Years Old and I Am Who I Am
Maggie Kooi

I'll admit that in general, I don't have a filter, but some of us have to have one. If we aren't all speaking our truth then what are we doing here on this earth? I mean it's not hard to speak your mind and confront other people in your life, it truly is not. You just have to have the guts to actually do it and I am doing it now, just in article form.

Life is about making memories after all, and we aren't getting any younger which is a crazy thought to process I know. But at the same time, if you aren't going to appreciate and get to know who I truly am, you don't deserve a front-row seat in my life. I am tired of hearing all this talk circulating when all you have to do is come up and ask me to clarify something, we are all adults here after all. I am no perfect person I will give you that, but I stand by what I say even if I may or may not be joking.

I am in no way trying to make this negative at all, I'm just stating facts that are facts. I just have gotten to the point in my life where I am done with the bs, to be honest. I don't hold grudges at all and if you want to think of me in a certain light that is fine, but no matter what I will still try and make the best out of our relationship. I hope that we can both move forward from this and not worry about petty, little things that aren't really important in the grand scheme of our lives.

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.
