Why Baking Is Love

Can you even deny it?

Why Baking Is Love

Everyone has their preference when it comes to cooking or baking. But have you ever actually thought about which is the best option? We cook because we have to, otherwise we would starve. Baking, on the other hand, can be done for a number of reasons. It is much more relaxing and cures a sweet tooth. Baking is a choice whereas cooking is more of a requirement. Here's my biased opinion on why I believe baking is love.

When you just got home from what you thought was the most awful day of your life, don't you just want to raid your pantry and sulk your sorrow in cookies galore? If you said yes, hallelujah! The truth of the matter is that when you're having a rough day, you are more likely to reach over for a cookie rather than a piece of chicken. Baking always results in the best comfort food.

Baking is quite the relaxing activity. If you find yourself stressed about school or work, then you should take up baking as a hobby. The great thing about baking is that it can be as complicated as you would like it to be. If you think yourself to be the next Ace of Cakes or Cake Boss, then go to town with your baking skills. If all else fails, there's always that simple Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie recipe you can rely on.

Let's be honest, is there a better smell to fill your kitchen with than the smell of homemade blueberry muffins? Who needs candles when you can just pop a pie in the oven? You get a two-in-one deal. Baking makes your home smell good and the added bonus...you can eat it afterwards!

Whether you think you're the best or worst baker in the world, there's always room for improvement. With any hobby you pick up, the saying always goes, "practice makes perfect." The Internet is your best friend. You can find countless recipes for various baking dishes. So, keep calm and keep on baking.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
