We're stressed enough already.

13 Things College Students Are Tired Of Hearing

College can be rough. With the piles of homework, hours without sleep, and all-around stress of working towards a future, there are a lot of different ways to tick off a college student. Family reunions only consist of questions about school and your future, and it seems as if professors have forgotten what it's like to be a student. Even though college may be a fun experience, here are 13 things that college students are tired of hearing:

1. You're going to be in debt forever.

Thanks for the confidence. It really helps reassure me that educating myself is the right decision.

2. No, you cannot keep a dog in your room.

He's for educational purposes, I swear.

3. This is not an assignment you can do the night before.

Every night of my life spent procrastinating has led up to this moment.

4. Your FAFSA letter has arrived.

The numbers they give you are usually a little bit different than you'd hoped for.

5. Sorry, we don't offer a student discount here.

If I don't get 20 discount off tacos then what's the point of even going to college?

6. What are your plans after graduation?

Of course, the typical response you give probably sounds a little more assuring.

7. You'll never find a job with that major.

Unfortunately, we can't all be brain surgeons.

8. Your checking account statement for this month is now available.

Sometimes it's just easier not to look at all.

9. We're having Ramen for dinner!

His expression says it all.

10. It has come to my attention that no one has been doing the assigned reading.

Come on, who actually has time to read 50 pages every night? Please just let us keep pretending like we know what's going on.

11. I'm assigning some homework over the weekend.

OK, so maybe we don't actually say this. But we really want to.

12. The class you are trying to register for is at maximum capacity.

At this rate, we'll be 30 and still trying to earn enough credits to graduate.

13. Sorry, I can't round your F to an A for the final.

This one is probably the one I'm most tired of hearing. So what if I only got a 17 percent? It's the thought that counts, right?

Even though college may be stressful at times, it's an experience that we're all going to miss. We may look back on these years as some of the best of our lives. We're learning things, making friends, and creating memories that will definitely last a lifetime. Although we may be tired of hearing these things now, who knows? Maybe we'll miss some of them in 10 years.

OK, probably not.

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.
