When we first turn 21, we go out and do all of the things that we couldn't do before.

The same thing applies when we graduate from college. There was so much that we couldn't say or do before, but now we have that $50,000 - $500,000 piece of paper that allows us all opportunity to "be an adult" and do what we want.

Here are 10 things I will do now that I've graduated college:

1. Spend the first month binge watching all the shows I couldn't watch while studying.

2. Sleep in passed 10 am on a Monday for the first time in 5 years.

3. Throw away all of the notebooks. highlighters, and other, now useless, things in my house.

4. Apply for all of the big kid jobs that I can.

5. Cry after realizing the demands of a big kid job.

6. Make sure everyone I encounter for the next two months knows that I am a college graduate.


7. Rub it in the faces of everyone who still has to go to classes.

8. Enjoy having money in my bank account before having to pay back student loans.

9. Debate going back to school to avoid having to pay back said loans.

10. Realize that I am officially now an adult and no one can fuck with me.

I will accomplish all of these within the next couple of months. And number 10 is the rest of my life. Just you wait.

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.

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:

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.
