Okay so you made it, the whole summer you have been waiting for this moment or not, but anyway it's finally here. It's move in day! Now, freshman, this is the first time you are actually going to be living away from your parents I know it's crazy, but you can do.

The tears are going to come for most of us or if you are lucky like me you dad drags your mom out of the room before you start crying so hey no tears. Okay so in all seriousness this is going to be new to most of you actually all of you. So you get there and the room is all set up. You meet your roommates and just go around talking to people trying to make friends.

Then orientation starts, really all orientation is speaker after speaker after speaker basically telling you the same thing over and over just using different words each time. They say things like "find you spark" "face the challenges that will come" you roll you eyes and nod your head, then you go listen to another presentation where they will throw so much at you that you will leave the auditorium with a what the heck was that expression and you will look at your dean like they have three heads.

When you finally get back to your dorm all you want to do is pack everything up and go home because, after everything your dean just said you don't think your ready for this whole college thing.

Which you are trust me, so yes those first days are confusing and very terrifying and I totally get it. You don't know who is your friend and who isn't, your just trying to get your feet under you.

So here is what I am going and you don't have to believe me, but it does get easier and it is not as scary as your dean or professor is making it seems. Remember they want to see you complete your studies just as much as you do, so they aren't going to make it hard for you.

As for the friends part what I can tell you for that is just speak to everybody, if you see someone sitting alone invite them to sit with you or you go sit with them. You are all in the same boat nobody knows nobody so sit with that person who is alone, have a conversation they might not be your next best friend, but you might make a friend. So here is to all the freshman out there freaked out and scared out of there mind, it's going to be okay you will get through freshman year and come back for more. So let college begin!

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.
