6 Life Lessons Learned From Drake

Drake. You may love him, you may just know him as that half-Jewish, Canadian rapper. However, Drake is so much more than that, and coming from a true Drake fan, I've learned many lessons from Drizzy. I compiled a list of things Drake has taught me that have helped me in my everyday life. Drake if you're reading this: it's not too late to follow me on Twitter.

1.Your old identity doesn’t define you forever- we all know where Drake came from. We all know he’s Jimmy in the wheelchair from Degrassi. But Drake has managed to make himself one of the most beloved and respected rappers of all time. You can remember your past but you don’t have to let it define your future.

2. Rep where you came from- I noticed a lot of people trashing their hometown when I came to college, without that place you wouldn’t be who you are, no matter where it is. Drake loves Toronto more than I love Drake. Even though Drake spends his time all over the world he never forgets his time runnin’ through the 6ix with his woes. And now we all want to run through the 6ix as well.

3. It’s okay to be emotional sometimes- One of Drake's most-known qualities is his ability to be vulnerable. He gets made fun of for it a lot, but everyone feels the same way Drake does sometimes -- they just don’t show it. Drake, I have a lot of feelings too.

4. Surround yourself with a supportive squad- Drake loves his squad; whether it’s Lil Wayne and Nicki or his OVO crew, he always has his friends around. You see them in his videos, his Instagram, on stage at his concerts. I wouldn’t be who I am with out my squad, I just wish Drake was a part of it.

5. Work hard to get what you want- Drake is one of the hardest-working rappers in the business, I’d even dare to say one of the hardest-working musicians. He knows what he wants and he chases after it. We should all look to Drake as inspiration when it comes to setting and reaching goals.

6.Grow a beard, it’ll make you more attractive. Seriously, have you seen drake with his new facial hair? It’s a game changer.

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.
