20 things to Learn from Your 20's

Years spent in your twenties are the like the ultimate pre-game--full of embarrassing Instagrams, a lack of common sense and questionable outfit choices. It's a pre-game to the actually 'party' known as adulthood. So for all of you who are entering their twenties or soon to be leaving them, enjoy this hectic, chaotic time before adulthood hits.

1. Ramen noodles for dinner every night is not a sufficient meal plan.

Despite what most people say.

2. However, begging your mom to stock you up on food is still acceptable.

Thanks mom for still supporting your almost adult child :)

3. Wine will always be your best friend no matter the circumstances

And it's okay if it comes from a box sometimes.

4. Sometimes you can't avoid parallel parking your car, its an inevitable life event.

My driver's ed teacher from high school would be horrified.

5. Love hurts, but its worth it

You're gonna run into some f**kboys, but what can ya do? Onto the next one.

6. At no point does getting up early and hitting the gym get any easier.

But every now and then does actually make a difference in how you look and feel.

7. Don't waste your time on guys that aren't worth it.

8. ..because lets be real your twenties are going to go by fast, nobody has time to wait around.

9. Yeah, money is important but not as important as your family and friends.

Because they are the ones who keep you grounded.

10. Spending most of your savings account on traveling is OK.

Sometimes you just need a tan.

11. Napping often is good for your health.

And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

12. If you decide not to clean the dishes, they will still be there in the morning.

(unfortunately they don't wash themselves)

13. Documenting your life on Facebook , or Instagram is really not necessary anymore.

It may be time to stop "Doing it for the Insta"

14. Try everything (ok, not everything but, most things) at least once.

Don't let your fears stop you.

15. Dance at every bar/club you go to.

There will be a day when you are too old for that stuff so take advantage of it now!

16. Always go with your intuition.

Despite being young, odds are you intuition is right in the end

17. Some people you will just no get along with.

And that is ok, theres 7 billion more where they came from.

18. You can't always care so much about what other people think.

You do you girl!

19. But most importantly, have the time of your life in your twenties and don't waste a minute of it.

Stay young.

20. Use the "they're just in their twenties" excuse to your advantage!

I'm still not quite an adult right?

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.
