The fall term has finally come to an end. Along with the death of many New Year's resolutions. But hey! No more classes! (Unless of course you are taking winter classes. *whispers* I'm sorry this article was not intended to hurt you.)

1. You Have No Idea What To Do With All The Free Time

So you're a free bird. For now. No more 8 a.m. classes. No more tests. No more sitting next to obnoxious know-it-alls. What do you do with all that free time? You plan to make plans to make plans.

2. You Don't Even Need To Know What Day/Date It Is Anymore


Honestly. It doesn't even matter anymore. The day "Monday" is meaningless. You're fearless. Every day is Friday.

3. You Can Finally Sleep Without A Guilty Conscience

Yeah. For real. Without setting alarms back to back for 7 a.m., 7:10 a.m., 7:20 a.m...Get the picture? You can finally get your full rest until the end of January. Then it's back to the grind.

4. You Are Also Getting Prepared to Get These Calls From The Bursar's Office

Um. Yes. I'm still recovering from the hole in my bank account from the previous semester. Can I get a break? Bursar: "No. You may not get a break. Pay up. Or else..."

5. You Can Make A Dent In Your "To Be Read Pile"

You don't have to worry about your sci-fi series distracting you from Physics anymore. You can read conspiracy theories without worrying about mixing up the concepts with Quantum Physics.

6. You Can Finally Binge Watch Your Favorite Series

You were already doing that...weren't you? Well, carry on. The season won't finish itself.

7. You Can Enjoy The Sun

Please. Get up. Move those curtains aside. And let the sun in! Better yet, go outside!

8. You Can Spend Quality Time With Your Family and Friends

I swear I wasn't leaving you on seen. I was just busy. Procrastinating. Complaining. Crying. What's that? Errr...I mean doing work! Yeah, that's precisely what I was doing.

9. You Can Get Into The Holiday Spirit!

No no. That is not the right shade of red or green for the festive season. You can now focus on those minute details.

10. You Can Prepare For The Spring Semester

Last but not least...you finally realize that the semester is about to start. I mean isn't that all after Christmas and New Year's. And yes, you can add new resolutions to that list to have a *cough* successful year. This time you'll be more productive.

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.
