Being in college is not easy by any means. We are finally on our own and forced to be both independent and self-sufficient.

That is not to say that we are perfect, because college students are far from it. We make poor decisions EVERY day. We try to tell ourselves that our actions will never have consequences and always think of the best case scenario, but we know that life definitely does not always work out that way.

Here are 17 totally blatant lies that undergrads tell themselves on a daily basis:

1. I can stay out until 3 AM and still make my 8 AM


2. I will not spend money today


3. I will dress nice to classes this semester

4. I will not procrastinate

5. Calories do not count at night

6. I will get a 4.0 this semester

7. I'm going to do laundry today

8. I will study tonight

9. I'm going to the gym before class


10. I will clean my room

11. I am doing great


12. I don't need to study for my test

13. I get enough sleep

14. I am not addicted to coffee

15. I will start eating healthier

16. I will only go out once a week

17. I am going to get my life together

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:

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.
