When I started researching classes for my degree in International Affairs, HFT4866 was on the top of my list. A class dedicated to wine, who wouldn't want to be in that? Of course, I had to wait until I turned 21 but rather surprisingly, I was able to register for the class immediately this semester. Since it is mainly for Hospitality majors, I thought I would have to wait until drop/add to try to secure it. After attending classes for the last month, I thoroughly enjoy it so far and we haven't even gotten to the tastings!

Homework = wine tastings.

While taking this class, you can actually say that you are completing wine tastings for homework. You have to complete at least ten before the end of the semester. These can be done anywhere with wine, as long as there are different varieties. So far, I have completed four tastings and I already see the difference in my knowledge from the first to the most recent one.

You increase your wine knowledge. 

Even though I am not a hospitality major, I find wine quite interesting and having the ability to learn about it is a wonderful opportunity. Before this class, I rarely drank wine and if I did, it was cheap $10 bottles. Even though cheap wine can be good, it doesn't compare to some of the more expensive wines I have had the privilege of tasting. I have learned a lot in the last month and I can't wait to learn more.

Drinking in class. 

Although the class is not dedicated to drinking, once wine tastings start, it's all about trying the wines. Each class period will involve the tasting of five different wines and any alcohol that is free is good alcohol. All in all, I'm excited to learn about and try a variety of wines.

Dr. Bonn knows what he's talking about. 

One of the worst parts of taking a class is having a terrible professor. Dr. Bonn is an amazing professor who goes in-depth with every lecture. Even though he can be somewhat strict, he does it for a reason. Missing a class means missing a lot of valuable information and why would you want to miss a class where you drink wine?

Hello, wine!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
