We have all done these and if we haven't, we know someone who has.

15. Eating Fast-Food For All Meals

It is convenient, filling, and very tasty.

14. Binge Watching

Between classes, when you should be doing assignments, before you go to bed each night, whenever... there are no parents telling you no.

13. Excessive Online Shopping

Textbooks, clothes, and more available conveniently at your fingertips! And it can be delivered to you.

12. "Forgetting" to Shave

Choosing not to shave in an effort to save time (or because nobody feels like it) is one of the most common practices among busy college students.

11. Vaping, Smoking eCigs, or Hookah

When in college... try potentially addictive substances.

10. Staying up all night

Still a bad idea, even for college students, but sometimes it happens.

9. Skipping Breakfast

Why eat breakfast when you could sleep another 45 minutes?

8. Procrastinating

Nothing says college like pulling an all-nighter to finish an assignment you didn't do earlier.

7. Forgetting the Names of People You Meet

Each of your classes has 30+ people in them and you don't have to talk outside of the classroom.

6. Surfing the Internet During Class

There is no way the professor can keep their eyes on all of the open computer screens.

5. Skipping

In the real world, it is not okay to miss a meeting or an appointment but in college, we miss classes all the time.

4. Late Night Meals

If you are up until the early hours of the morning, you will probably crave some type of food sustenance.

3. Snacking When Bored

When there is nothing else to do, eat!

2. Not Showering as Often as You Should

You do you. Plus there are no parents around forcing you to shower.

1. Spraying Perfume on Dirty Clothes instead of Washing Them

Washing clothes takes time and planning but spraying them with perfume is an instantaneous, temporary solution.

College, where bad habits come to flourish!

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.

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.
