Being The Girl With The Guy Sense Of Humor
Favim

Being a girl who jokes like a man is a tough humor to carry. Every time I make a joke that is cruder and seen as a "guy's joke" I get some odd looks. I grew up in a family where this off-hand humor is accepted and promoted. There are many a cuss word and synonyms for penis thrown around on a daily basis. It can be a hard life though when you have a vagina and talk like this.

First off, friendships are hard to find. With girls it can be much more hit or miss. You have to weed through the girls who have a stick permanently shoved up their butts and girls who think saying "f*ck" is frowned upon. Once you find the yin to your yang, the sun to your moon, the sh*t to your f*ck, it is the best friendship their is. They understand the struggles you go through and can bounce all the sarcasm you throw at them right back.

Guys are thrown off at first. If you find the right group though, you are instantly accepted and usually referred to as a "bro" or "dude." At the same time, there are the ones that are confused forever. They don't know the ratio of girly to bro-like to treat you. It's really difficult to check yourself around guys. You assume they will understand your humor, but there are the ones who don't enjoy your crass-ness. They can get the f*ck over it or not associate with me.

Keeping yourself in check in a professional scene is important, but in general don't be going around hiding your true self. You are a beautiful peacock and people have got to let you fly. You might scare some people along the way with your weirdness and odd humor, but hey you don't want them as friends anyway.

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.
