Although the wonderfully hilarious mockumentary "Parks and Recreation" aired its final season last year, the show will forever hold a special place in my heart. Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott and all of the wonderful cast added to the comedy in different ways. Taking place in a run-down city in Indiana (I'm convinced Pawnee is based on my hometown), the Parks and Recreation Department resembles a family. A dysfunctional family, sure, but a lovable one. My all-time favorite character, Andy Dwyer (played by Chris Pratt), perfectly portrays the ups and downs of college students. Although in his early to late thirties, Andy is basically a giant child. This is college, told by Andy Dwyer.

1. When you get your first midterm grade and you studied so hard.

2. Finals week.

3. Discovering what is actually in your college diet.

4. Basically, any time your professor calls on you.

5. Every college kid has tried it at least once.

6. When you spend hours at the library.

7. When you begin your five-page term paper the night before it's due.

8. What you wish you could say to your professor at the student-teacher conferences.

9. When you fail at acting your age.

10. When you have to explain to your professor why your test scores are so low.

11. When you try to act like an adult because you are technically legal.

12. When you try to figure out the nifty desks in class and promptly break something.

13. When you finally accept that your life is in shambles.

Andy Dwyer is the "Parks and Recreation" funny man, and although he took only one college class (Women's Studies) and failed, he certainly grasps what goes through a college student's mind.

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.

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.
