Taking 18 credit hours this semester was not my best idea. Almost all my free time is spent studying. However, my "studying" can sometimes be pretty unproductive. Do I wind up studying longer because of all the distractions I come up with? Yes. Will I ever change? Probably not. Below are some study situations I think almost everyone can relate to.

1. Having a Netflix show playing while studying

Why do I do this?? I don't know self-sabotaging?

2. A quick break to look at social media

Giphy

It's NEVER a quick break. NEVER.

3. A study snack

Giphy

I always wind up lookin' like this guy. I tell myself "I cant eat and study. That's to messy."

4. Working on something that isn't due for two weeks instead of the thing that is due in two days!!

Giphy

Why do I do this??!!??

5. Cleaning up to avoid studying

Giphy

Honestly, this is really the only time I clean.

6. Thinking about everything I need to do and crying instead of actually doing anything.

Giphy

Probably my most unproductive habit.

7. Reading any book other than my text book. 

I love reading. I just don't love reading my required textbooks.

8. Drawing or painting study break

Giphy

This one may just be a me thing. Last night I spent over an hour painting instead of studying.

9. Deciding I suddenly need to make the five phone calls I have been putting off for months.

Giphy

10. Deciding I need to relax, take a bath, and put on a face mask.

Giphy

Honestly, doing this does help me focus more!

Good luck with your studies!!

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:

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.
