Ah, College. It can be the best of times and the worst of times. Are you even a college student if you've never gone from thinking college was the greatest experience of your life one day to considering why you decided to even come to college the next? I know I have, and I think every college student will read at least one of these "Parks and Rec" GIFs and think "Me AF".

1. Coming back from break and realizing you don't have your mom to do everything for you anymore.

What do you mean I have to buy my own groceries?

2. Being determined at the very beginning of the semester to pass all your classes with straight As.

THIS is the semester you finally get your priorities straight.

3. Deciding to 'wing' your Monday test.

Watching reruns of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" instead of studying for your Econ test probably wasn't the best decision after all.

4. Getting your first bad grade of the semester back.

One bad grade IS the end of the world when you started off with such high aspirations.

5. Getting your first good grade of the semester back.

College thought it could tear us down but we are back on top!

6. Having at least one mental break down.

Having three tests and two essays due in the same week can really take a toll on a person.

7. Becoming a therapist for all your friends.

After all, you aren't the only one knee-deep in stress.

8. Those rare nights every now and then when you decide to get decent sleep.

At this point, you've probably forgotten what feeling "not tired" was like.

9. Being reminded how awful group projects are.

Is it even possible to be put in a group where your not the only one doing the work?

10. Eating anything- especially if it's free.

Finally- something other than ramen!

11. Surviving off of naps.

There is ALWAYS time to fit in a nap if you try hard enough.

12. Nearing the end of the semester and having next to no motivation left.

You've made it so far- yet have such a long way to go.

13. Entering finals week.

You will spend most of the week questioning your sanity rather than studying.

14. Surviving the semester AND passing all of your classes.

You somehow managed to survive another semester- maybe college isn't so bad after all!

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.
