30 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go On A Spring Break Diet

This could take awhile...

Someway, somehow, Spring Break is rapidly approaching. Eight entire days of nothing but beaches, sun, sand, drinks-- and bathing suits. Normally, there's a bit more time to mentally prepare before having to slip into a bathing suit, but this year, the days are escaping a little too quickly for my liking.

Last week as I was eating my weight in mac and cheese, or drinking my weight in Bud Lights/vodka sodas, my mind flashed to the bathing suit sitting in my closet, and the all too close date of when I'd have to put it on. Should I cut back on the chicken cutlets? Maybe limit my alcohol intake? Should I be on a spring break diet? And then, something fantastic happened. Just as quickly as that thought had entered my head, it disappeared, as if it never existed in the first place.

And then I started laughing to myself. Because the more I thought about it, the more I realized I'm going to enjoy this life (and my body!) while I have it. So there are quite a few things I'd rather do than go on a Victoria's Secret Angle-esque diet before spring break:

1. Finish another series on Netflix

2. Take a (much-needed) nap

3. Organize the mountains of clothes piling up in my closet

4. Accidentally like a picture of your ex-boyfriend's sister's best friend from four years ago

5. Wear nothing but crocs for the rest of my life

6. Look for all the bobby pins I've lost over the years

7. Wash my car by hand

8. Go to the dentist

9. Step on a Lego

10. Shave one eyebrow

11. Get my haircut by a toddler

12. Have a hangover for three weeks straight

13. Be trapped in my freshman philosophy class for an entire day

14. Dry shave my legs

15. Wear a groufit for the rest of my life

16. Be forced to use a dorm bathroom for the rest of my life

17. Do the cinnamon challenge once a week for the next year

18. Sit through an opera

19. Join Farmer's Only or Christian Mingle

20. Lose all of my phone contacts

21. Have someone countdown each minute until graduation

22. Listen to an entire playlist consisting of entirely of recordings of my own voice

23. Go on a juice cleanse

24. Drink nothing but Four Lokos every time I go out

25. Lose all of my leggings/yoga pants

26. Never use hot sauce again

27. Pierce my own ear

28. Drunk text every contact in my phone

29. Be a contestant on "The Bachelor"

30. Not go on spring break

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.
