Being Sick Is No Fun. At All.

Being sick, especially in college, can make for a lot of stress and issues.

Currently, I am burning up yet I feel so cold that I have on two pairs of leggings, a long sleeve shirt, a hoodie, my comforter, and then a heated blanket to top it all off. Not to get too personal or gross, but I've thrown up anything that I have tried to eat these past two days and I have a killer headache that feels as though someone keeps slamming it in a car door. unfortunately for me, I am in college and when you're in college not going to class can very quickly screw you over. I should know considering that's exactly what I did my first semester Freshman year and it didn't end well at all... Not to mention, you have all of your obligations outside of class that demand your undivided attention regardless of the fact that just looking at this screen right now burns your eyes. "Suck it up." they say. Okay, I did.

So me going to class is now above the health of not only myself but the people unfortunate enough to be stuck in class with me and exposed to whatever it is I have. Oh please, don't be the flu. I've already dealt with that once this year and I can't do it AGAIN. But that's life for you. People will always be quick to point out what you didn't do or forgot to do but totally disregard the fact that you have yet to miss a class yet or the fact that you have things going on in your personal life that other people would never make it through.

Don't be so quick to assume that you know what someone's going through because chances are you've only glimpsed the surface if even that. Give people the benefit of the doubt and doubt so harsh. You never really know what someone might be going through...

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.
