If you started the second semester on the 17th of January like myself, then congrats! You survived the first week of the semester! We all dread going back to homework, studying, and 9 AMs, but once we get back into the swing of things, it will feel like you've never even left for winter break. Having entirely new classes with a new batch of classmates and professors, several thoughts run through your head during the first class of the new semester.

1. "What is this professor's name again?"

2. "I am a 20-year-old adult, why am I playing an ice breaker game."

3. "Why is my partner for the ice breaker game telling me his whole life story? I just asked for his major..."

4. "Why am I the only one in here from out of state?"

5. "Why does this syllabus seem so daunting?"

6. "I wish I went to a school that respects the holy holiday of obligation known as 'sylly week'."

7. "Ehhh...there's plenty of time until March, so I don't have to worry about these projects just yet."

8. "Oh no, it's that guy/girl that never stops talking that I had class with last semester!"

9. "OMG, they're already starting with their yapping and it's only 9 AM."

10. "I definitely have to pick a new seat tomorrow. I can't see the board."

11. "Why won't this guy just tell the professor which name he wants to go by? It clearly does matter."

12. "Why is this room hotter than Satan's Gates of Hell?"

13. "Does this professor realize my bank account barely has enough for lunch, let alone three textbooks?"

14. "Speaking of which, what should I eat for lunch today?"

15. "Why are these desks so close together?"

16. "Wait, what class is this?"

17. "We better be let out early, it's the first day!"

18. "Is it Spring Break yet?"

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.
