Being in college is a living nightmare every student has — get ready to relate!

1. Syllabus day.

A bunch of rules you're expected to know for the semester or even the whole year.

2. Welcome week.

Meeting a bunch of strangers that they expect you to be friends with.

3. Icebreakers.

The cherry on top of Welcome Week.

4. Tests.

Always were scary, are scary, and always will be scary.

5. Class registration.

You stress out only to realize you will get the least ideal schedule year after year and there is nothing you can do about it.

6. Textbook prices.

Books are expensive considering the number of times they are actually used by students.

7. Realizing the Starbucks line is too long.

You need coffee but can't compromise study time for coffee.

8. Running out of coffee.

How are you going to stay up now?

9. Finding out the dining hall is closed.

Why are you paying so much if you can only eat at the oddest hours of the day?

10. Finding out your favorite restaurant is closed.

You made the walk to get real food, and now you can't.

11. Tuition.

Are scholarships a myth?

12. Student loans.

Just thinking about how much money you owe the bank after graduating gives you goosebumps.

13. Student debt.

And after all those loans, tuition, and other prices, you are broke right out of college!

14. Wifi outages.

Whether you want to finish that assignment due in 2 minutes or watch Netflix, it's an inconvenience either way.

15. Eating alone in the dining hall.

It's nice sometimes but can you really do it every day while staying confident?

16. The roommate.

Whether it's meeting your roommate or living with him/her...

17. Community showers.

Sharing a shower with your whole floor, and having the water change the color of your hair. There is nothing good about it.

18. Making your own appointments/phone calls.

You have to adult now and make sure you're doing things right.

19. Alarms for 8 A.M. classes.

Nothing worse than hearing that alarm go off before the sun is even out.

20. Oversleeping.

Whether you fear oversleeping or whether it happens, it's no fun.

21. Not finding a seat in the library.

You just want to sit down and do your homework- it's all you want.

22. Your grocery store receipt.

Who knew food and toilet paper was that expensive? And why?

23. Running out of food.

No explanation necessary.

24. Group projects.

When your professor says "I'll be choosing your groups" *shiver*

25. The freshman fifteen.

*Checks weight every day to watch for a single pound*

26. Not being able to go home.

Whether you can't catch a flight or have events planned on campus, it's always scary to think you'll be stuck on campus longer than you need to be.

27. Choosing a major.

What do you want to do with your life in less than 4 years???

28. Walking to class.

You're on the opposite side of campus and had to be in class 7 minutes ago.

29. Any dumb decision you make.

It will haunt you forever.

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:

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.
