The 10 Minute Musical.ly Difference
Samantha Kasselman

College is so different than high school. It is such a unique period of time in one's life. For me, I went from having a non-stop schedule filled with school from 7:40-2:55 and then dance until late at night. Of course, homework and sleep (on a good night) fit in there as well.

College; however, doesn't have a schedule. Some classes don't even have required attendance. I don't have to be involved nor do I have to go to this meeting nor do I have to do my homework nor is my mom cooking chicken at 7:00 pm sharp and only at 7:00 pm sharp. Instead, the dining hall is open all day long and the homework isn't required. I make my own choices based on what I create for my day.

While high school is about the dependence created for each student on their schedule, college is about the independence. This independence became a positive as I was enjoying my girls night in this Tuesday. It became clear that every night in college was the sleepover I had dreamed of having as a young girl.

Zoey 101 was every girl's dream. Zoey was at a boarding school where she made new friends, had new romances and ran her life. She had sleepovers all the time. Hung out with her friends whenever she wanted to. Oh, and she lived in Malibu.

Although the University of Michigan is not Malibu, I can happily say I'm living like Zoey 101. After a day of class, work, laboratory experiments, and dinner at the sorority, I was able to come home to my best friends.

And as any best friends would, our girls night in consisted of the 10-minute difference. 10 minutes of dancing and singing and happiness while making the Musical.lys that social media would say is a pastime for college students.

These Musical.ly's; however, are no past time.

They're the 10 minutes I get to just be a kid. They're the 10 minutes I get to run free from all my worries about the "adulting" search college is for. They're the 10 minutes I get to live like Zoey 101 where everlasting slumber parties are real.

Musical.ly's are the 10-minute ultimate stress reliever that makes everyone smile and laugh until they drop–literally.

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.
