People change. That’s an obvious statement.

Ending high school and going to college is very different, just like a million articles out there can tell you. Seeing your friends while on a break is difficult because they’ve all changed, and so have you, but one thing that they don’t always include is what it’s like when you go to visit your friends in their new school.

This is very different from going home for breaks because you become immersed in this new environment which they have spent the majority of their past year in. A lot of changes happen and you’re very aware of everything.

Here are just some of the thoughts that ran through my head when I visited friends at the University of Maryland, University of Miami, and Virginia Tech this year.

1. Wow, they actually have friends. They weren’t just making them up.

2. I guess they’re not as weird as they were in high school.

3. No, wait they totally are!

4. Hm, what if we still went to school together?

5. Aw, their friends are sooo cute and funny!

6. Wow, this girl is just like our friend from home.

7. Would I be friends with these people too?

8. Would we still be as good friends as we were in high school?

9. Wow, their school is pretty.

10. OMG that girl is in my sorority!

11. Should I say hi?

12. Oh, it’s not even her shirt, that’s awkward.

13. This place is HUGE.

14. Is that pitaya? What the heck, why doesn’t my school have pitaya?

15. Can’t you get a to-go box here?

16. Hey, that kid looks like someone at my college!

17. Aw, I miss their handwriting!

18. When’s that essay due again?

19. Ah, who cares! I’m not even at school right now. I’ll just finish it later.

20. Um, am I supposed to get in the picture too?

21. Nah, I’ll just get in the next one.

22. What the hell are they talking about?

23. Is this an inside joke?

24. What are all these abbreviations and code names?

25. What’s a Hokie?

26. What's a Terp?

27. What's a Cane?

28. Oh. That's what it is.

29. Why did I take this six-hour train ride again?

30. Oh yeah, it's because I’m friends with this idiot.

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.
