Let me just start by saying that as college students, we all know that there are many pieces of clothing that are common on campus. You can't walk a step without spying at least one of these articles of clothing. Whether it be the frat guy accounting major who you spy sitting on the bench or the education major with the skinny jeans and cardigan, it's pretty hard to miss.

1. Sorority shirts

This is the typical sorority girl. She is obsessed with her sisters and is the girl who will use any excuse to talk about her big/little. She doesn't go one day without wearing any letters/sorority gear. She doesn't own anything else in her wardrobe that's not sorority-related. She gives rude glares to anyone else who represents a different pair of sorority letters. Most likely, her name is Jessica.

2. Skinny jeans with a cardigan

You will never see an education major without some sort of jeans and a cardigan on. As future teachers, they must always dress nice, so they might as well start preparing now. They always have a cup of coffee held carefully in their hand so they won't spill any on their brand new jeans or tote bag. You can most likely find them in the library until 2 AM with six extra cups of coffee while they scramble to write a lesson plan.

3. Vineyard Vines pocket shirt

This is Chad. He is an accounting major who also belongs to a fraternity. His daily outfits consist of Vineyard Vines pocket tees and white cargo shorts. You can find him walking to class wearing earbuds, as well as him holding a cup of coffee. On the weekends, you can find him out at the houses shotgunning his beer.

4. XL t-Shirt and Nike/Lululemon shorts

These people are most likely sorority girls who basically live on T-shirts and shorts. You can find them sitting outside with their sunglasses on at the local coffee shop in the afternoon, an iced coffee, and bagel to their side.

5. Birks

Whether they're real or not, Birks are basically worn by the majority of girls on campus. No matter the weather, these are the shoes of choice. Cold? Wear them with socks. Hot? Wear them alone. Snow? Wear them with snow boots. Cold feet at night? Wear them to bed.

6. Athletic tank top with leggings

These are the girls who basically believe that their workouts are more important than academics. You will never see them in nice clothing. They sit in the row in front of you munching on carrots in class, and they drink fruit-infused water out of their Blender Bottle. They never wear their hair down and they constantly smell like sweat.

7. Tie shirts

These are the girls who start chugging as soon as it hits 4:00 PM on a Thursday. They can't be caught dead watching Netflix and eating pizza at home on a Friday night. After all, they do have a reputation to keep.

They tell themselves that they need to stop spending money, but they find themselves at the bars every weekend blowing away that dough. They are always the first ones to get drunk. Also, a majority of their Instagram pictures are either at house parties or the bars.

8. College sweaters that represent another college

These are the individuals who CLEARLY want to transfer, but no one knows why they're still here. Their dorm/apartment/house is decked out in gear that is different from where they currently go to school. We get it, you think that your fave school is superior to this one.

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.
