It's that time of year again. The birds are singing, the teachers are trying to squeeze in that last test before finals, and everyone is excited for school to end. It's disgusting.

1. Once the weather starts to clear up and the sun starts shining.

Give my pale, melanin-lacking skin a break.

2. Everyone is annoying because they have nothing better to do.

media.giphy.com

Something about that April air makes people go coo-coo.

3. You just. can't. deal. anymore.

media.giphy.com

The days are getting longer and my patience is getting shorter. Day drinking it is.

4. But you still have to apply for big-girl jobs for after graduation.

media.giphy.com

I'm just trying to make my resume make me sound way more impressive than I actually am.

5. And look at apartments.

media.giphy.com

These are the important questions we need to be asking.

6. You realize adulting is difficult.

media.giphy.com

7. And expensive.

media.giphy.com

My future motto is 'the cheaper the better'.

8. Finishing your final papers is impossible.

media.giphy.com

And I can't wake up.

9. Everything hurts and you're tired.

media.giphy.com

I don't have money to buy coffee but I need coffee to function and do the things.

10. But you're trying to be optimistic.

media.giphy.com

Just survive.

11. And there's always a backup plan...

media.giphy.com

Free food. Free bed. Free friends. Just saying.

12. Everyone is sick.

media.giphy.com

Get away from me demons.

13. By the end of the school year, you'll do anything for some extra cash.

media.giphy.com

I may or may not have looked into how much foot pics would pay... don't judge.

14. Everyone is either really mean or really nice.

media.giphy.com

The end of the school year brings up a lot of emotions. I don't like emotions.

15. But at least graduation's in sight.

media.giphy.com

Bye losers. See you never.

I relate to April from 'Parks & Rec' on a personal level. Whether that's despising human contact or having to do actual work, her and I are pretty much the same.

Welcome April. I can't wait to get you over with.

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.

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.
