Being a broke college student can be really difficult when it comes to grabbing a quick meal between classes and cramming for exams. So many places are overpriced and underwhelming. When you feel like you need a quick meal, but only have a $5 bill and some change to cover that $10 burrito you crave, here are 5 other options that won't hurt your already depressing bank account:

1. Arby's

At Arby's, you can choose a slider, snack-sized curly fries, and a turnover for a grand total of $4.07.

2. Burger King

Have it your way at Burger King with two cheeseburgers, small fries (or onion rings), and a drink for only $3.49.

3. McDonald's

You can't go wrong with a McChicken, medium fries, and a large sweet tea for $4.08.

4. Subway

Even though Subway no longer has its famous $5 footlongs, there still are a few options for under $5. Indulge in a 6-inch Spicy Italian and a cookie for $4.40.

5. Taco Bell

Last, and most certainly not least, is Taco Bell. My favorite option of this list, Taco Bell has so many amazing meal deals for under $5. If you're unsure what to get, go for whichever $5 is being featured at that time. It's cheap but certainly delicious.

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.
