Sometimes, you just don't wanna be in the club turning up on a Tuesday.

Going to the bar might not be everyone's go-to activity in college. In fact, the bar is one of the most boring places to hangout for me. So what do you do when T-shirt Tuesday comes around, or when all of your friends decide they want to spend their Thursday and Saturday nights out? Not all nights spent at home have to be boring. Whether you want to spend the night alone or rally a few friends up to hangout, here are a few ideas for what you can do instead of go to the bar:

1. Game night

Nothing beats a glass of wine and a game of UNO with your best friends.

2. Netflix & chill


And by chill... I mean chillin'.

3. Go to the hot tub


The best way to relax at the end of a long day.

4. Girls night in


Who needs the bar to have a fun girls night? Snacks and movies with my greatest girl friends sounds perfect.

5. DD friends at the bar


So you may not want to go out but your friends still do, so be a good friend and make sure your friends stay safe.

6. Go home and see your family


If you are done with classes for the week, make a trip home instead of going out all weekend. Your family misses you.

7. Disney movie marathon


These three words are the key to my heart.

8. Spa night


Make the night all about you. Take a bubble bath and treat yo'self.

9. Stargaze


See how many constellations you can find.

10. Try Pinterest recipes


...and most-likely fail, but who really cares anyways?

11. Craft


Best friend gets a craft. Boyfriend gets a craft. Little gets a craft.

12. Adult coloring books


If you experience anxiety or are easily stressed, buy an adult coloring book and spend your night coloring. You will see how much your anxiety levels decrease.

13. Study


I know you don't want to, but odds are you probably have to.

14. Workout


Most gyms are usually open until midnight and there are usually less people working out later at night, so take advantage of that!

15. Clean out your closet/Organize your room


If your room is together, your life is *hopefully* together.

16. Buzzfeed quizzes


Seriously, I have spent more hours than I'm willing to admit taking quizzes on Buzzfeed.

17. Go to the movies


Most college theaters sell movie tickets to college students for as little as $3.

18. Yoga


It's not for everyone, but if you haven't tried it yet, do yoga. It is good for your body, mind, and soul.

19. Read a book

Put your phone down and pick a book up. My favorite is "Eleanor & Park" by Rainbow Rowell.

20. Plan your future wedding


We are all guilty of doing this, don't lie. Thank you, Pinterest.

21. Sleep


Because no college student gets to do that ever.

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.
