It’s the dead of winter, and I don't know about you guys, but I’m over it already. I’m so ready for dresses and flowers and bare feet and everything spring.

Here’s a list of five things you can do to brighten and freshen things up a bit if you're already dreaming about spring and summer like I am.

1. Plant (or buy) some succulents!

Trust me, if you walk into any major retailer right now you're bound to run into one or two or a million succulents—real or fake. But they really are a great way to freshen your space up with some greenery, and, bonus, they are very little to no maintenance.

2. Collect candles or reed diffusers or oil warmers

Flowery scents, citrus scents, or fresh and clean scents, whatever you're into, candles and the like are a great way to freshen up a room that's been closed up all winter.

3. Get a new calendar

It’s the new year, and a new year means a new calendar! Get one in a bright, fun color or pattern and spring will be here to match it before you know it.

4. Treat yourself to some bright, cute, new workout gear

Some of you have probably made the New Years resolution to get in shape. Make working out a bit more fun by buying yourself some fresh new workout gear. Not only will you wanna wear your new gear, but hopefully you’ll be excited to workout and get in shape as well.

5. Buy a new air freshener for your car

Throw away that pine scented, Christmas tree-shaped air freshener you have hanging from your rearview mirror and pick up a new fresh smelling air freshener. And even though it may still be snowing outside, at least it'll smell like spring in your car.

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:

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.
