School is out and summer is here, just like last summer I have returned home until school starts again. However, unlike last year, this time I am unemployed (my parents really love that part). To keep myself entertained before I go back to school and work in August, I've created a list of things that I want to do over the next 2 months that are (pretty much) free.

1. Deep clean

I need to clean. I need to clean my room, my car, my life -- all of it. Since I have LITERALLY not a thing to hold me back or distract me, I should be able to do this. I plan to donate a lot of stuff from my room that I realized I don’t need.

2. Blaze through my Netflix list

I definitely watched Netflix during the school year but now I can watch things without the guilt of an upcoming assignment. Also I can multitask and watch movies or shows WHILE I clean. Some things on my list are The Fall and Malcolm in the Middle.

3. Visit friends

Half of my friends live in the upstate and the other half live by the beach, meanwhile little old me is sitting in the middle, alone. Luckily with all of my free time I will be able to go see friends and keep in touch over the break.

4. Exercise?

Yeah the question mark is there for a reason, will I do it? Who knows.

5. Learn to cook

In my article, "9 Things I've Learned In College" I noted that I do NOT know how to cook. Now, with a family to cook for I’m hoping to work on my skills so I can feed myself this next year.

6. Get some vitamin D

I want to spend more time outside this summer since I have been stuck inside studying or working over the past year. Hopefully I can get a gentle (not burned) glow in the process.

All of these things can we done for virtually no money and I hope that I can get through all of the items on my list.

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.
