25 Signs You Watch Too Much HGTV

You might be addicted to HGTV if...

  1. The day House Hunters and House Hunters International were put on Netflix was the best day of your life.
  2. You've already watched every episode of "House Hunters" and "House Hunters International" on Netflix. Twice.
  3. 90% of the time, you can accurately predict which house the house hunters will choose.
  4. You get into verbal arguments with your TV over the uber-picky house hunters (IT'S JUST PAINT COLOR. YOU CAN CHANGE IT)
  5. From the second the couple walks in the door, if there aren't hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances, you know it's gonna be a no-go.
  6. You consider changing your major to renovation expert/interior designer/TV star on a daily basis.
  7. You have a favorite brother from "Property Brothers" (Team Drew all the way).
  8. You make your parents watch shows like "Beachfront Bargain Hunt" and "Caribbean Life" in the hopes of convincing them to buy an awesome vacation house.
  9. You're also convinced that you could do a full-scale renovation on your house and sell it for way more money to buy said vacation house.
  10. Or maybe move to Italy. If that young couple right out of college can afford it, so can we Mom and Dad!
  11. Even if you have to live in a tiny house to do it, like on "Tiny House Hunters." The glam way those people decorate their 200 sq foot homes almost makes you forget how miserable it was to cram 2 people in your similarly sized freshman dormroom.
  12. Chip and Joanna Gaines from "Fixer Upper" are your actual relationship goals.
  13. You want to move to Texas just so Chip and Joanna can make you a beautiful farmhouse.
  14. You also think Hilary and David from "Love It or List It" should be a real life couple.
  15. You can't help but hate homeowners for getting mad at Hilary when she can't do the whole renovation because of structural issues. HELLOOO, it's your houses fault, not hers.
  16. You enter yourself, your parents, and every extended family member into the Dream Home drawing every year because you have to win.
  17. You've re-decorated your bedroom a gazillion times because you get better and better design inspiration every time you turn on the channel.
  18. HGTV.com is your home page.
  19. You've been known to take HGTV-related quizzes in your free time.
  20. You subscribe to the HGTV magazine.
  21. Words like open-concept floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and curb appeal are part of your everyday vocabulary.
  22. You're ready to fight the TV when the homeowners start making ridiculous renovation requests.
  23. Your parents get mad at you because you fill the DVR with every HGTV series imaginable.
  24. When you turn on the TV, it's already on HGTV.
  25. In fact, you're going to go watch more HGTV right now.

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.

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:

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.
