10 Things I Want To Do on My Days Off

When I get days off of work, people think I want to hang out and 9 times out of 10 they're wrong. I have a list of things I want to do on my days off. No offense to my friends who I only see once or twice every month.

1. Housework.

Sadly, yes. I have stuff at home that needs done because more likely than not I've already held it off as long as I possibly could and would want to. Housework is always first on my list.

2. Rewatch Supernatural.

Even though I have seen every episode at least four times, I love traveling the US with Sam and Dean fighting demons and monsters and love* having my heart broken over and over due to the writers killing off everyone I love. *Note sarcasm. It's just a show I can't stop watching.

3. Catch Up on YouTube Videos

As someone who loves watching YouTube, for the gamers, I try to keep up with the videos and content they upload for my own entertainment. I mean, I could watch them later, but I could easily watch four hours worth of videos from Crankgameplays and not notice.

4. Sleep.

No amount of sleep is ever enough, so why should I limit myself to only sleeping at night?

5. Watch movies with my family

Even though we usually only watch the same five movies on repeat, I love spending time with them as much as I can.

6. Read a book.

I have an entire bookshelf full of books that I want to eventually read. Although I tend to lean towards Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes more than anything else, I will eventually get to the rest of my bookshelf.

7. Start a new tv series

I feel like there are so many tv series out there that I would find interesting. For example, I've heard a lot of good things about The Officeand Park and Rec. So maybe I'll find interest in them.

8. Sit on my couch and scroll through social media

I'll be the first to admit that I have a problem when it comes to social media. I need to see if anything interesting is happening. Whether it be from a pregnancy announcement, a proposal, or just people arguing, I'm really nosey and want to know about everything.

9. Learn a new language

For years I've been wanting to learn a new language and actually remember something out of it. (Shout out to those four years of taking Spanish and only remembering to ask to use the bathroom). So, why not start on my day off?

10. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

On my days off I just want to sit at home and do absolutely nothing. More likely than not, I would just lay in bed and do nothing, and I'm 100% okay with that. Who wouldn't be?

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.
