It's totally natural to be envious of other people. Here's why you shouldn't dwell on that feeling.

1. The Smartest Person in Class

2. The Hot Girl

Her perfect body may not come easy to her. She puts in a lot of hours at the gym to maintain her figure. Sometimes she feels insecure without any makeup.

3. The School Concert Soloist

Odds are she's under a lot of pressure because most of the attention is focused on her. Although it may be easy to hate her, she does have feelings too.

4. The Guy With the Perfect Family

Truth be told, no family is perfect. He might get into fights with his siblings occasionally, and his parents may take stuff away when he gets in trouble, just like yours.

5. The Girl Attending Your Dream College

Although she's living your dream now, she may not always have. Maybe her life up to college was a little difficult. Besides, she's smart, kind, and already doing some major good in the world. She deserves this.

6. The Celebrity with the Perfect Body

That magazine cover that guy's on has probably been photoshopped. It's impossible for any real person to live up to those standards. You can be good looking without looking exactly like them.

7. That One Person Your Age That's Super Accomplished

Think about it this way: they might not have enough time for fun as you do. Remember that everyone goes at their own pace.

8. The Popular Girl

Just because everything seems to go right for her socially, doesn't mean she has it together for her whole life. Maybe her family life isn't the best so her friend group is her family. She's a beautiful person inside and out so it's understandable that so many people like her.

9. The Person With A Lot More Money Than You

They're not immune to all of this life's problems just because they're well off. They deal with the same things everyone else does plus a great deal more judgment. Please don't be resentful because love and family and friendship are what's most valuable to them, even if that's not obvious to most people.

10. The Girl Who Got the Part You Wanted

Sometimes it's just not meant to be. Although you might not believe it right now, she might need it more than you do right now. The fun part is, you can take the role you do have and make it iconic.

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.
