If you happen to fit my description and feel offended, please don’t. This is all for fun and games. Enjoy!

1. The critic:

We all know that one person that loves to criticize anything and everything. I have encountered so many critics in my BA as well as Ma program. These are the last kind of people you would want to work with. We all know that constructive criticism is always a good thing, but usually these critics can’t tell the difference between that and the destructive one. If you hang out with this kind of people, they will become the voices that attempt to stop you from doing anything.

2. The negative one:

If I were you I would stay as far away from this kind of people. I had one friend who always found a way to be negative about everything he did, and soon enough I realized that I started projecting a little bit of that negativity as well. I started questioning the things that are of great importance to me wondering if there was a point to everything we do. This has sent me into a vicious circle of wanting to do so much but never trying because at the end of the day nothing mattered.

3. The partier:

Personally, I love this kind of people. They are usually always up for a good time and all about being in the moment. However, being with them all the time can be a bit tiring, especially in times of pressure. If you are this kind of person or know someone who is, be sure not to let the partying spirit take away from the school spirit. Work hard first, then play hard.

4. The lazy one:

Disclaimer: On behalf of lazy people, I would like to say that we’re not all that bad. These people are usually the ones who leave everything until the last minute. They work well under pressure (mostly), can find creative shortcuts and are great for movie and snack recommendations. Now, beware not to get influence by the laziness, but do trust in their choice of snacks.

5. The eager:

Their favorite thing to ask is usually “what’s in it for me?” They are usually down for anything, but only if they can get something out of it. I like to think of them as future business people. Their time is money, and they will not spend it on things that add nothing to their day, perspective or pocket. I appreciate this kind of people but sometimes, it is good to do things just for the sake of doing them.

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.
