In college, spring break is characterized by vacations with friends to warm places, especially when you go to school in Ohio. However, staying home over spring break is much more relaxing than going somewhere.

1. You don't have to plan anything

Trying to get a group of people that all know each other and want to go to the same place in addition to planning a vacation during the most popular tourism months while also attending classes. It's a headache that can be avoided if you just stay home.

2. It's cheaper

You don't have to get to wherever you're going, and you don't have to pay for things while you're there. Sure, you might buy things at home, but that's cheaper than a vacation to another state.

3. You can visit friends from home

Odds are if you went on a vacation with friends, it'd be your college friends. If you go home, you can see the friends that you normally don't get to on a daily basis.

4. Sleep

If you go on vacation, you'll want to wake up and do things, like go to the beach. You might also go out at night, but if you're home, no one can tell you when you can and can't sleep. Spring break is supposed to be a break, so take one.

5. Home cooked meals-- without the effort

Sure, you can go somewhere and cook, but if you're home, then your mom will more than likely be willing to cook whatever foods that you've missed while being at college.

6. The choice to do work

If you want to work over break or work on homework, you have the choice if you stay at home without worrying about travel times or the plans that you have with your friends for spring break.

7. Free laundry

One of the biggest pros of going home, in general, is getting free laundry done. If you go home over spring break, then you get to have your laundry done for free, and you come back to campus with clean clothes instead of having just dirty clothes when you come back from vacation.

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.
