10 Thoughts You Have While Packing
The Huffington Post

It's two hours before you have to leave your house to the airport. Of course as the procrastinator you are, you left all of your packing to do at the last minute. Traveling anxiety is a real thing, and we've all been there. Here's some thoughts that might run through your head as you semi-pack/semi-panic for that trip you were (or were not) really looking forward to.


1. *throws every piece of clothing you own on your bed*
I have absolutely nothing to wear.


2. Well, sweats and sweatshirts it is, no need to look presentable.


3. Actually, why not just bring my entire wardrobe with me, that wouldn't hurt right.


4. *attempts to close the suitcase* Just kidding.


5. Is it logical that I'm bringing five pairs of shoes for a ten-day trip? Sure it is.


6. Let me turn on some music. *in the process, ends up spending half an hour on social media*


7. Oops. So where was I? Oh yeah, leaving in an hour.


8. But most importantly: Snacks. Can't forget those.


9. Wait but even MORE importantly: chargers. Can't believe I almost forgot those.


10. *15 minutes late in leaving the house* I can't do this anymore. If I forgot anything, oh well.

(Ended up that right before you board the flight, you realize that you forgot to pack your toiletries.)

HAPPY TRAVELING!

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.
