When I walked into my first business class freshman year (20 minutes early) I was brutally unprepared. All I knew about business was from dinner conversations with my family, a little bit of news when I couldn't avoid watching it, and the fact that accounting and finance were both, you know, things. As a third-year business student now, here are a list of some apps, websites, you name it! that could have definitely saved my back from the start!

1. Wall Street Journal

A given. The WSJ is dense, but sometimes the best way to go about reading it is looking at the top news in the US & top news in the world sections on the front page. From there, if anything sparks your interest, go straight to that page! A better option than the paper is the app, which sends you updates in real time!

2. NY Times App

Along those lines, the New York Times also has an app that regularly sends updates. It's easy to use and it goes without saying that the name is highly respected.

3. Morning Brew

Arguably my favorite. This is the absolute easiest way to keep up with all business news. It's a brief, 5 minute read that comes to your inbox each morning at 6 AM. It even discusses the latest moves in the market and recent M&A news.

4. Mergers & Inquisitions

So helpful if you're looking to get to Wall Street some day! M&I helps students prepare for interviews in all things Mergers & Acquisitions. The website also features interviews from bankers!

5. Twitter

Disclaimer: Just follow the right people.

6. TheSkimm

Another in-your-inbox morning newsletter! Unlike the Morning Brew, TheSkimm focuses less on business and more on world news. The newsletters are witty and an easy read early in the morning.

7. LinkedIn

If you can master LinkedIn, you are one step ahead of everyone else! Do's: bios, select accomplishments, and updating job status. Do not's: frequent & excessive updates, inappropriate photos, non business-related posts.

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.
