This stuff is normal to us, but imagine if it wasn't?

There are many things that we do every single day that often times, we don't even give a second thought about. However, imagine the very first time an action was taken by the first humans on earth. How weird that must have been, right? Well, here's a list of those things that might have been weird to the very first humans who tried them.

1. Sex.

Or anything sexually related, for that matter. I mean seriously, how did they decide what goes where? Did they just attempt every hole on the body until something worked? Or, was it just instinct?

2. Making out.

So whoever decided "i'm going to lick my tongue with your tongue to show a sign of affection" had to have given it some sort of thought. Imagine if making out would have been an angry behavior? If it was socially acceptable and encouraged to lick tongues with the person you hate.

3. Pooping.

So one day, the first human got a stomach pain. All of a sudden, stuff was coming out of a hole in the body. What did they do? Did they know to wipe? Did they ask a friend if it happened to them as well?

4. The first friend.

Were they forced to be friends because they were the only two people around? Were there options for other people to make friends with if you didn't like the person? Did the first friend find it creepy that the other person always wanted to be around them?

5. Clapping.

How did they decide that slapping both hands together meant a form of congratulations? Or did they slap each other first? Was it a high-five effect, or did they high-five themselves because they had no friends?

6. Walking.

I'm sure everyone has seen a baby deer walking. Did the first humans just stumble around like that for a until they gained balance? Did they give up if they fell down and just crawled around for a bit?

7. Laughing.

How was this decided to be a happy noise? It definitely had to have been that an odd noise came out at a funny time. Imagine the stares from those around them who also wondered if they could make that happy noise.

8. Tickling.

This had to have evolved from the first poke. How awkward must it have been to be the first person to receive a tickle ever, like "woah dude stop, this isn't...WAIT HA HA HA YES PLEASE KEEP USING YOUR FINGERS TO TOUCH AREAS ON MY BODY THAT ARE CAUSING ME TO MAKE HORSE LIKE NOISES. I DON''T KNOW IF I LIKE IT, BUT SORT OF?"

9. Eating.

Did the first people know that food would be what would keep them alive, or did they just randomly put things in their mouths and swallow? How many people actually died of starvation before they realized that food was a necessity?

10. Sneezing.

All of a sudden, the first person felt this weird sensation in their nose (if they knew what a nose was, if not just a weird sensation in the middle of their face), and gunk flew out of the holes. Were they worried? Did they try and make it happen again?

11. Crying.

I can picture the first person going "eyes got wet! eyes wet!" and feeling panicky when droplets of water ran down their face. I guess that was how sadness was created?

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.
