"I hate myself" is a sentence I hear either from myself or friends on the daily. Usually multiple times a day.

Why, you ask? Here are 20 reasons why college "hate themselves":

1. Finals

Why do I need to take tests throughout the semester and then take a big test over all the smaller tests at the end of the semester?

2. Teachers

Some of y'all are cool and some of y'all aren't.

3. Class

Mostly just the classes that you can't miss unless you want your grade to be affected.

4. 8 a.m. classes

Way too early.

5. 9 a.m. classes

Not as early, but still early.

6. Early classes in general

Classes shouldn't start until at least 10 AM.

7. Actually just class in general

There are just some (most) days we do not want to get out of bed

8. Just life

Because of every other reason listed.

9. Work

We go to class full time and have to work to afford anything extra that we want

10. Boys/girls

We may be more mature now that we’re in college but we still don’t know what we want.

11. School wifi

It’s. So. Slow.

12. Class, again

We want to stay in bed.

13. Homework, that we may or may not have

It's rarely ever for a grade so why give it to us?

14. Tests

We don't study and even if we do, we forget everything by the time we get the test.

15. We're out late every night.

Studying, or just chilling with friends.

16. We don't pay attention.

We have the attention span of a goldfish.

17. We're forgetful.

When we do pay attention, it usually goes in one ear and out the other.

18. We wear the same outfits multiple days in a row.

Leggings and a hoodie are our go-to outfits.

19. We don't do laundry as much as we should.

Hence why we wear the same outfit a lot of the time.

20. We do stupid things.

We're in college. We live and learn.

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.
