Going away to college can be the greatest experience of your life, but it can also be one of the hardest, as you have to leave behind the things you love. Here are seven things I miss about home while away at school.

1. Home cooked food

That good old home cooked food just can't be replaced! Shoutout to mama's mashed potatoes!

2. Seeing your friendly neighborhood shop owners

Wasn't it nice being surrounded by stores and bakeries with owners who KNEW you? You could get all the discounts you wanted with quality service!

3. Your friends

This one is a no-brainer! Who wouldn't miss their friends from back home?

4. Your BED

Remember when your back would lay against your bed with extreme comfort? Yeah, me too.

5. Your local bakery

No matter where you go in your college town, that local croissant just can't be beat!

6. Your FAMILY

Family keeps you grounded and sends you unconditional love, so it only makes sense that you would miss them!

7. Not being broke all the time

Remember when you had money to spend and you weren't a broke college student? Oh, what a lovely time!

Although you may wish you had these things with you all the time, it just makes you appreciate them 100x more when you get the chance to go back home. Remember to always SAVOR the moment.

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:

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.
