By now everyone is back in school, and settling back into their fall routine. Most students have experienced at least a week of school already, and we all know how the beginning of school goes.


1. "I'm going to do so well this year!"

Every school year begins with high expectations and hopes for the best.

2. "I will not procrastinate."

it is still early in the year and the work load isn't that much. Perfect time to start out with a good work ethic... right after on last episode.

3. "Why does time move in slow motion..."

I checked the time at 1:30 p.m., and 10 minutes later I checked it again, and it was 1:31 p.m. Each class feels like at least 5 hours long, each school day like 10 hours long (not including clubs) and the week goes on for the duration of a month.

4. "I will have good relationships with my teachers."

I will participate in class, turn in all work on time and maybe even have casual conversations with them.

5. "How does the teacher hate me already?"

It's only the first week and the teacher is already looking at me like I didn't turn in my homework! If I act extra good I can turn it around... or just live with it.

6. "Does sleep even exist?"

I lay in bed each night, blink and get up for school.

7. "How can people be this dumb?"

8. "How did everyone get so smart?"

School is the only place where you know everyone is losing their self confidence, yet you're still insecure. Everyone seems better at everything!

9. "This class is actually easy."

For once you are finally understanding (and even exceeding) everything that is happening in class.

10. This class is impossible!"

It's the first month of school, and I already don't know what's going on!

11."TGIF"

12. "Do weekends even exist?"

Weekends only seem to be an hour long, and there's only time enough to acknowledge there was a weekend. The weekdays must have stolen their time from the weekend.

13. "At least I have my friends."

How would anyone survive school without someone who complains about the same things as you?

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.
