11 Thoughts College Students Have Returning From Break

Being back at school can be a bittersweet feeling. You get to see all your friends again, but you also have classes and homework after being off for a month. It can be hard to readjust after being gone for that long, and I can think of no people better to explain the feelings of being back than the cast of my current Netflix guilty pleasure: "Gossip Girl."

1. Remembering you have a 7:45 a.m. class.

You have a 7:45 a.m. class, and now you have to try to accept it or at least act like you've accepted it.

2. Figuring out what to wear.

That first week back, you put your best effort in, making sure you look fierce before you break out the sweatpants and hoodies.

3. Meeting new people.

The usual first day ice-breakers—tell the class your name, your major, and one "fun fact" about you.

4. Finding the perfect unassigned assigned seat.

You pick a seat on the first day, and you stay there. Don't take someone's seat, it's just an unspoken rule.

5. What is all this chapter one nonsense?

I thought the first day was all syllabus—what's this chapter one on the first day?

6. I hope my professors aren't crazy this semester.

There is only room for one crazy person on campus, and you've found her.

7. More Netflix and chill.

And by Netflix and chill, I mean Netflix and pizza with friends. The more pizza the better.

8. Return of the bikers.

Be sure to check your blind spot before walking across the sidewalk, or you will be taken out by a bike. I've seen it happen.

9. Is this week over yet?

The first week always seems so long, but the weekend is coming.

10. Best friends together again.

When you've been away from your friends for a month, there are a lot of secrets that you have to share. Some that you may want to stay secrets.

11. The weekend.

You did it—you made it to the weekend. Now it's time to let loose, and let out your inner Regina.

It's going to be a long semester, so buckle down and get ready. It's going to be interesting.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

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.
