Kids seem to get away with everything they possibly can, whether its somehting as innocent as picking up random bugs, or something as weird as shoving random things up their nose. We, as adults, can't get away with these things sadly. But here are 17 things that kids can get away with, that we cant!

1. Spitting out food when you don't like it.

Or storing it in your cheeks like a hamster instead of chewing it. Just swallow, it'll be okay.

2. Just eating the pieces you like and leaving the rest.

You willbe silently judged.

3. Picking up random bugs you see.

You might be inclined to stop, but the person you're with would probably rather keep walking.

4. Eating Play-doh.

It was so salty and soft, but it's made for hands, not eating.

5. Sticking random things up your nose.

It's generally frowned upon, and that pea belongs in your mouth, not your nose.

6. Falling asleep where you want, whenever you want.

It's not as cute when you're an adult, asleep at a table with drool coming out of your mouth. always. plan. your. naps.

7. Asking "why" whenever you don't understand something.

We rather just know than to keep asking over and over.

8. Treating your skin like a canvas.

you can't just pretend to be a tiger whenever you feel like it anymore.

9. Eating food off of the floor.

We have to pretend like we abide by the "five-second rule."

10. Covering your hands in glue, waiting for it to dry, and then rejoice in peeling it off.

Ok, you've probably done this at least once in your adult years.

11. Wearing clothes inside out.

On a college campus, you could probably get away with this. An office atmosphere? not so much.

12. Drawing bad pictures of people and having them claim you're Picasso.

It's harder to earn a spot on the fridge now.

13. Throwing a tantrum when you can't get something at the store.

You have these annoying things called self-awareness and embarrassment.

14. Throwing a tantrum because you didn't get your way.

Refer to number 13 above.

15. Hanging around in clothes covered in stains.

It's like were expected to be clean or something all the time.

16. Getting overly excited when you get offered fruit snacks and juice.

You can't act like you haven't seen food or water in days.

17. Being obnoxiously loud.

It's not as cute when you yell everything you say.

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:

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.
