Every day, people live lives they don't feel mean anything. The things they do don't seem to have meaning in the bigger picture of things, and they're really only living to make the best of their own insignificant life. It's depressing to think that countless individuals think they're just a drop in the ocean, and they make no difference to the world. That is the furthest thing from the truth.

Every person has an ability to change the world every day. Changing the world doesn't happen overnight or by one person, but a drop still creates a ripple that eventually can turn into a wave. Each person has a chance to make this world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. It may not seem like you're changing the world, but you are. The actions you do effect those around you in ways you'll never know, and those effects can be the beginning of a better world. It's like a web-- we're each only a tiny part, but through our connections we create this magnificent thing.

I've had countless individuals inspire me without even knowing they've driven me to want more from myself. They taught me lessons on how to do the right thing and be a better person, and this happens every day. People help push people in positive directions without ever knowing they are, but it's these small things that lead to more. Helping one person starts a chain reaction, and sometimes even by just changing that one person's world you've changed the whole world. You never know what they can do with the inspiration you gave them.

You may see your actions as small, but everything starts somewhere. Your actions can easily be the starting place of something great. Your small gestures or actions can change the world, but you can also do more than you think. You have the ability to change things on a larger scale too if you put forth the effort. You and everyone else have a thousand chances to start changing the world, don't waste them.

The world is not a perfect place and never will be, but it can still improve. Step out in the world and help make the changes it needs. Start small or go big, either way just start doing something. You have a chance to make the world a better place, don't waste your chance. Take every opportunity you get to do good; you could be the difference between something amazing and a disaster. You just have to take the chance.

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.

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.
