I would first like to declare that contrary to popular belief, sweets solve everything. Having a bad day? In a funky mood? Or you're just plain hungry? Sweets to the rescue, my friend! I am a believer that certain sweet treats are best paired with certain moods.

1. The adventurous

Maybe you're feeling bold and ballsy in the dessert department. Opt for a fresh take on a classic, or seek whatever is the newest Insta popular (also known as a "gramable") treat. Think chocolate shelled desserts that require a hot sweet syrup of sorts to unveil the hidden treasure. The element of surprise is sure to fix your wanderlust tastebuds.

2. The savory

This is another opportunity to step outside your normal dessert comfort zone. Maybe a bourbon s'mores (complete with bacon) is calling your name or a slice of lemon thyme cake. For some savory options, look here and here.

3. The wallow

Head to the freezer because this is ice cream territory. The wallow is a specific emotion that is what I would consider to be the low of all lows. This is where you break out all the stops; however, ice cream usually gets the job done. I'm talking half-gallon size, not those wimpy pint servings (unless you buy several pints). This is also a time when it is socially and emotionally acceptable (and expected) to eat more cookie dough than you actually end up baking and devouring a panful of brownies.

4. The sweet

Really, anything externally covered in glucose fits this sweet mood. I'm talking donuts and beignets, bread pudding, crème brûlée, macaroons, baklava, pies, and every other possible treat. The genuine sweet, sugar cravings are best fixed with a hearty dose of the source, sucre (that's French for sugar).

5. The decadent

Reach for a slice from a towering chocolate cake to express your lavish mood. Nothing says decadence more than an extensively crafted chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream or ganache and chocolate shavings. Bathe in the decadence that is coco because you deserve it.

6. The "eh"

For when you are in just that "eh" mood, give your favorite cookie flavor a try. Preferably fresh from the oven (and filled with copious amounts of chocolate), this warm, gooey delectable is sure to turn your bland mood around.

7. Elation.

AKA the celebration, time to break out the funfetti and get mixing. Rainbow sprinkles are food confetti and directly correlate to a party mood. Yay, festivities!

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.
