6 Foods I Miss From Home

6 Foods I Miss From Home

Being at college, in an unfamiliar city more than two hours from my hometown, has made me realize a lot of things, but by far the most shocking is that I could miss certain foods so much. The food in the dining halls isn't bad by any means (and we just got a real Starbucks!) but food from home is so much better.

1. Bagels

Bagels are absolutely incredible. But dining hall bagels are not. I haven't actually tried bagels outside of campus, so I can't say for certain that they wouldn't be good, but the ones on campus can't even begin to measure up to Orange County bagels.

2. Pizza

I've come to realize that Dominoes isn't as awful as I thought it would be. I hadn't eaten it ever before I left for college because when the longest drive to a real pizzeria is ten minutes, why would you go anywhere else? I miss actual good pizza so much.

3. Chicken Pot Pie

And honestly just good home-cooked meals, in general. Everything is produced for hundreds of kids daily and has to be quick and bland to suit the majority of taste buds.

4. Homemade Soup

There aren't a lot of things better than soup. And homemade soup is ten times better.

5. Pasta That Isn't Ramen

Like any other college student, I live on a diet of ramen when I'm too impatient to cook anything longer than 5 minutes and too lazy to walk anywhere that isn't across the room. Still, I miss real pasta.

6. Hot Tea

I haven't had tea since I got to college three weeks ago and am seriously going through with withdrawals. I need good tea ASAP.

I can't wait to get home and have all of these foods again on my next break. But until then, I'll enjoy ramen and easy mac and live the stereotypical college life.

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.
