Over Thanksgiving break this year I became very bored with the lack of tests, quizzes and other assignments that take the majority of my time at school. So, I decided to try something new. I have always loved baking but not cooking and baking from scratch is not something that anyone in my immediate family is overly thrilled to do.

I love the idea of knowing exactly what you're putting into a product instead of just using a bag and adding a couple of things. This all what sparked my interest to search for a recipe that sounded good for my picky taste buds as well as the fact that it is homemade.

Pinterest is my favorite place for just about everything and yet again, did not let me down. The following link is the original recipe, as I found it; http://www.glorioustreats.com/2016/03/lemon-bluebe...

After using the original recipe serval times I have made some adjustments that I think are necessary and beneficial for the final bread loaf. My first alteration would be to adjust the amount of vanilla from the first section from 1/2 teaspoon to 3/4 teaspoon to help add a subtle flavor to the bread itself, you'll see why in just a minute.

I recommend fresh blueberries for this recipe since everything else is scratch, there's no point in ruining great bread with mediocre blueberries. I also add about 1/4 cup of blueberries because I personally love them and think there could never be enough.

The suggested cook time on the original recipe is only 55-65 minutes, and every time I used those guides, my bread was dough in the middle so I would suggest 70-75 minutes.

My only other adjustments would be for the "Lemon glaze", after adding so much lemon to the bread, the glaze doesn't need to be lemon. When it's just a simple glaze it helps offset the tartness of the lemon and really rounds out the bread.

This recipe is fun to make, you'll come out feeling like the next Master Chef, and everyone will die for it and beg for the recipe. You can also add in other types of compatible fruits such as strawberries to make a strawberry lemon bread. This recipe is great for not just the holidays but year round!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
