10 Reasons Why I Can't Wait To See My College Best Friends

The thing I am most excited for in going back to school is reuniting with my best friends. Most of them live a plane ride or two away so I haven't been able to see them this summer. Here are a couple of things I am most excited to do together!

1. Late Night Cooking

Last year we spent every weeknight studying in the Hanselman kitchen because of the close proximity to the oven. There was rarely a night where we didn't make second dinner while burning the midnight oil.

(Dino Nuggets: 10/10)

2. Dance Parties

Whether it be to Lil Jon or Shania Twain, I can't wait to spend the first 2 hours of Saturday nights getting down with my girls. With the occasional appearance of some fiddling.

(Balloons: 9/10)

3. Bachelor Mondays

Aka the only part of Mondays that are worth waking up for. If anyone knows who the next bachelor is going to be, hit me up.

(If Luke is the next Bachelor: 10/10)

4. Group Naps

The best Sunday afternoons are spent in a twin bed watching The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and catching some Zs with your friends.

(Falling off the bed: 3/10)

5. FaceTiming with Each Other's Pets (and Family)

Even with such great friends, we all get homesick. I can't wait to get scolded for having our feet on the table by each other's moms. Not to mention videochatting with the best dogs and cats in the world.

(Facetiming Grace: 10/10)

6. Sharing Clothes

Since we all live close, it's easy to borrow each other's clothes. There's never the issue of not having anything to wear. But seriously though, who has my red and blue flannel?

(Losing your flannel: 2/10)

7. Support

There's nothing better than some hugs to get you through the semester. We are there for each other through thick and thin which makes being apart so much harder.

(Being shorter than all of your friends: 3/10)

8. Making Fun of Each Other

I miss our group chat roasts and general banter. No one can tease you as well as your best friends can. All in good fun though!

(Winning awards at Rugby Banquet: 11/10)

9. Being Absolutely Ridiculous

I love having friends who couldn't care less about what others think about them. Whether it be playing pranks on each other or #bringingbackplanking2016 our prerogative is always to "have a little fun."

(Shag carpets: 9/10)

10. Earning Our Stripes

I can't wait for daily practice and Saturday games. Getting battered and bruised is always better alongside your friends. #HCWRFC

(Using Sharpie to write on your skin: 5/10)

So excited to be reunited in less than a week!

(Rallying after a morning game: 8/10)

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.
