I really enjoy revisiting my favorite shows like "Grey’s Anatomy" (R.I.P., Derek Shepard). For some people, they like to watch the entire story from beginning to end all over again and not skip around, while for others, they like to watch only their favorite parts. Me personally, I like both sides because let’s face it, some scenes are so boring I just need to skip them. While watching, here are some things I find myself doing.

1. Deciding to re-watch it because you’re bored.

We’ve all been there when you are scrolling through Netflix and just can’t seem to find any new shows that meet your standards. For me, "The 100" didn’t cut it. We give it a try but ultimately resort back to either the classics ("Clueless") or our favorites ("Gossip Girl").

2. Knowing the plot.

Obviously we know what’s going to happen in every part or episode, so it's no surprise when the people end up (back) together. Its all exciting even if something tragic happens just because you are already prepared… to get the tissues.

3. Snoring through the boring.

I absolutely skip the boring scenes, who doesn’t? I have no time to waste watching people walk down hallways or watch my least favorite characters’ drama. No thank you. I will say that skipping the boring parts puts me at the best seat in the house to watch the best scenes, aka any. Jon. Snow. Scene. Ever.

4. Sleep deprivation.

Either you’ve gotten some sleep and are a responsible show watcher, or you’ve gone without sleep for days and weeks from watching episode after episode, or completing the movie collection. I’ve caught myself doing just that and I can’t honestly say I was in full no contact mode. #SorryNotSorry.

5. Depression.

I’ve just finished my third time re-watching "Grey's" and I am very sad that its over, but not that sad because the new season premiere is right around the corner! Even if its all over, forcing your friends to start watching the series you’ve been pining over since forever is always exciting and then you have another reason to watch it all over again so it’s a win-win.

So even though you probably wasted half your youth, it was all worth it and will probably end up doing it again. I know I have and I defiantly know I will.

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.
