School is always one big stress ball for many students. If we're not worrying about a big test or homework, it's some project or presentation we have coming up.

Amidst all this stress, there are those people who either don't eat because they're too busy to fix themselves something or there are those people who grab the quickest thing they can find, which usually comes in a packaged good.

Either way, it's unhealthy and we know it. I recently fell victim to both. I would either not eat because I was so busy with classes and studying, or I would eat something I knew my body would regret later. When I finally realized this pattern of unhealthy eating, I figured I would make more of an attempt to eat healthier and find ways to do so.

So, in light of that, here are some quick, but delicious snacks that won't leave you feeling hungry.

1. Apples and Peanut butter

Apples are healthy and with a little amount of peanut butter, you have the greatest snack of all time! I mean, isn't the saying, "An apple and some peanut butter a day, keeps the doctor away?"

2. Parfait

Yogurt with some nuts and fruit is always my go to in the morning or lunchtime if I'm feeling busy or on the go! Just add a few almonds/walnuts and some blueberries (or any of your favorite berries!) and you're in for a sweet treat!

3. Hummus and Pita Chips

Hummus and pita chips are always my go-to for a quick lunch if I'm feeling too busy to fix myself something else! Even eating hummus with some carrots or celery is just as delish too!

4. Veggie Wrap

I know it may seem like a lot of work, but trust me, whipping up a veggie wrap when you're on the go is easy as 1, 2, 3! Grab some wheat or spinach wrap, add your favorite hummus spread, and top it with some carrots, bell peppers, and cucumbers and you're all set!

5. Chips and Salsa

Chips and salsa are always my go-to, but it can become unhealthy when you eat more chips than salsa or vice versa. The trick is to get the right chips and salsa and you're set. Making my own salsa is my favorite thing to do since its easy and delicious! Cut some onions, tomatoes, corn and add some lime, and voila! You've got salsa.

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.
