College is a killer.

College Life, As Told By 'Scream Queens'
www.VanityFair.com

College is a roller coaster. It's somehow simultaneously the best time of your life ... and the hardest. But no matter how many exams you have, no matter how many instant noodle cups you need to consume and no matter how early your morning classes are: college could always be worse. In Fox's newest hit horror/comedy television show, "Scream Queens," the glamorous, catty, and sometimes psychotic members of the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority have to try to get through college while they also try not to get brutally killed by a mysterious Red Devil. Let's just all be thankful that we don't have any serial murderers on campus – just some religious zealots who yell at us for wearing tank tops.

Here's college life, as told by the characters of "Scream Queens":


When you walk in late to class and everyone turns to stare at you:


When your professor announces that there's no homework this week:


When you aren't sure exactly how the generation before you learned anything without Wikipedia or Smartphones:


When you realize it's 11 p.m. and you have six different assignments due at midnight:


You get used to college "meals" like Ramen ... or a hearty helping of nothing:


When the professor praises you for raising your hand and answering a question correctly:


When someone sits in your unofficial assigned seat that you've been sitting in all semester:


When you're finally getting a good night's sleep and you suddenly remember that you have an assignment due in the morning:


When you somehow pass a test by the skin of your teeth when you thought you definitely bombed it:


Or the opposite, when you failed an exam you thought you did well on:


When you realize you can't go out with all your friends because you have to be a responsible adult and do your homework instead:


When your professor refuses to curve the grade for a test that every student failed:


When you're forced to work with random partners for a group project:


When one of your randomly assigned group partners always has an excuse as to why they don't have their portion of the work done:


When the group project is over and you never have to talk to your group partners ever again:


When all you can think about the entire time you're in class is how you can't wait to eat when class is over:


When you spend all night working on a project and finally submit it at 11:59 p.m. and promptly die of exhaustion one second later:


When the professor tells a joke but you're still salty about how much homework you have so you refuse to laugh:


When the professor gets off topic and lectures on things that won't be on the exam:


When you make the mistake of venturing into a bathroom on campus:


When the professor is looking around for someone to call on and you're sitting there silently hoping he picks anyone but you:



When the professor was about to let you out early but a million students raise their hands with questions:


When you finally get dismissed from a class full of people you absolutely hate:

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.
