Only a slight exaggeration

I had a rough week this past week, and I know I'm not the only one. There's school stuff, family stuff, school stuff, and personal stuff, and sometimes all that stuff stacks up so far that it falls over and causes a huge stressful disaster in your life. For me, that was this week. This week was stressful and hard, and sometimes it just helps to acknowledge how terrible something is. So, on that note, I've written this in honor of my crappy week.

1) Accidentally shaving your head and then trying to play it off as a bad hair day

2) Reaching into a box of your favorite snack and realizing that the box is empty

3) Being caught in the rain with no umbrella on the day you decided to wear neon pink leopard print underwear

4) Your favorite team leading the entire game and losing in the last 30 seconds because of a bad call

5) That moment in the Princess Bride when Westley and Buttercup think they're safe from the Fire Swamp only to be captured seconds later

6) Thinking it's Friday and then finding out that it's actually Monday

7) Finally getting food when you're super hungry and then spilling it everywhere

8) Your phone/computer dying halfway something really really important

9) Being late and in a rush and your car won't start

10) Realizing at 2 am that you have a 10 page paper due the next day

11) Having a horrible fight with one of your best friends and then remembering it's their birthday

12) Having to sit through a Twilight movie while sitting between Edward Cullen fangirls

13) The moment you realize you've forgotten something extremely important

14) Getting a paper cut between your fingers and then dipping your hand in lemon juice

15) All the cheese sliding off the pizza slice

16) Your favorite band breaking up

17) Someone saying "We need to talk"

18) Your mother using your full name

19) Losing your wallet and finding out someone in Dubai bought $4000 worth of jewelry with your credit card

20) Being stuck in traffic miles from the nearest highway exit with only 1 gallon of gas in the tank

21) Going to a restaurant and asking for Coke/Pepsi and they only have the other one

22) Getting halfway through a Big Mac and finding a long hair hanging out of your mouth

23) Stubbing your pinky toe on the corner of a wall

24) Eating nothing but raw spinach leaves for an entire week

25) Sleeping only in 1 hour increments for a month

26) Remembering that today is your anniversary and you haven't done anything for it

27) Attempting to dye your hair and instead you somehow bleach your eyebrows

28) Getting tattoo with a word misspelled

29) Going on a blind date and finding out you're related to your date

30) The world being completely out of ice cream

31) Only decaf coffee existing

32) Having to go everywhere on stilts while hopping on one foot

33) Broken headphones

34) A baby screaming the entire time on a 13 hour flight

35) The 2016 presidential election

So, I hope everyone's next week is better than this past one was. And may none of these things ever be comparable to your life.

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.
