My friends always like to joke that I'm the "mom" of the group. I like to think they mean "milf" of the group, but I'm sure it's implied. Either way, I've always sort of laughed it off until one day it hit me – I am a soccer mom in a college girl's body.

If you, too, feel that you may be a 40-year-old woman trapped inside an oversized t-shirt and Adidas, here are some of the signs.

1. You cruise the aisles of T.J. Maxx and Target like they're going out of business tomorrow

What can I say? They get new stuff in all the time?? We all owe ourselves a new throw blanket or doormat every now and then.

2. Pinterest DIYs are your shiiit

Move over Joanna Gaines, this newly stained and dressed kitchen table I just McGivered is gonna put you out of business.

3. LIVE! With Kelly and what's-their-face is the constant noise buzzing throughout your house

What a coincidence that your middle-aged mom soul would be drawn to the sexiest middle-aged mom on daytime television?

4. Turtleneck SZN is your favorite time of year

I don't know about you, but a turtleneck, ripped jeans, and a pair of booties is basically my "I'm a mom in a college girl's body" uniform October-February.

5. Your entire paycheck goes towards candles

Bath and Body Works candles to be exact. Nothing says a classy home like candles burning in every. single. room.

6. Your Starbucks order is actual COFFEE and not a cup full of sugar

I'm sorry, but us motherly-souls run on actual caffeine and not pumpkin spice lattes. Give me all the espresso.

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.

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.
