I'm a foodie. If you're my friend on Snapchat, then God bless you because you know this is true because you've probably seen the numerous perfectly shot, filtered pictures of my food. I'm not ashamed of it. What can I say? I love good food. So I've spent the past few years since I got my license trying out different places and proving that us Jersians do know good food when we see it. So here you go, just a few of my favorite places. Though, warning that this list is comprised solely of chocolate... I may or may not have a major sweet tooth and be craving chocolate while writing this at midnight, whoops.

Glaze Donuts

Where: 358 River Road, New Milford

What To Order: The Italian Rainbow Doughnut

Sogno Coffeehouse and Creperie

Where: 425 Broadway, Westwood

What To Order: The Bergen Crepe (Or any crepe for that matter.)

Confections of a Rock$tar

Where: 550 Cookman Ave #104, Asbury Park

What To Order: Don't Be Cruel cupcake (banana cake with peanut butter frosting topped with honey-dipped bacon); they also have dog friendly cupcakes.

Shriver's Salt Water Taffy and Fudge

Where: 852 Boardwalk, Ocean City

What To Order: Taffy, obviously.

Carlo's Bakery

Where: 95 Washington Street, Hoboken

What To Order: Lobster claws; they also have really good cannolis though what type of Italian would you be if you screwed those up?

Brother Bruno's Pizza, Deli & Bagels

Where: 200 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne

What To Order: Any desert pizza (you can even customize it too).

Anthony's Cheesecake

Where: 71 Washington Street, Bloomfield

What To Order: Cheesecake (made fresh to order); they also serve "real" people food like sandwiches and stuff.

Mr. Tod's Pie Factory

Where: 15 West Hudson Ave, Englewood (He might also have locations elsewhere throughout the state)

What To Order: Known for his sweet potato pie and people on Yelp love his coconut custard pie. You might also recognize this business from ABC's "Shark Tank."

Holsten's Brookdale Confectionery

Where: 1063 Broad Street, Bloomfield

What To Order: Holsten's Special (sundae of mint, black raspberry, butter pecan and chocolate ice cream covered in hot fudge, wet walnuts, whipped cream and a cherry).

If you're craving ice cream, then also try Rita's Italian Ice. While it may not be original to New Jersey, it's pretty amazing and so worth the drive.

Bread and Cheese Cupboard

Where: 246 96th Street, Stone Harbor

What To Order: Sticky Buns.

If you're a vegan, then check out Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in Rutherford.

I know I can't be the only one with this major sweet tooth and I know there are a ton of places I've missed. I don't think I'll be leaving Jersey any time soon so there's plenty more sweets coming my way.

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.
