The thought of living alone freaks you out.

7 Realizations You'll Have Once You Live With Your Best Friends In College
Rachel Mount

College has brought me the best times with the best people, and every night in or out shows me how lucky I am. Our house is full of different personalities, majors, aspirations and mindsets- but I don't think it would be possible to live with a group of friends I love and trust more.

1. To the outside eye, your group probably seems like the worst

Okay I'll admit it. We're pretty obnoxious when we're together, but I swear it's only with the best intensions.

2. Everything is better when you're together

It doesn't really matter if we're going out or staying in, as long as all of us are there I don't feel the need to be anywhere else.

3. You can't imagine ever living alone

Imagining a world where I walk into the kitchen and my roommates aren't there cooking dinner, or coming home from a late night of studying to a blanket and movie fest is a world I don't want to be part of.

4. Holiday breaks throw you off your element

Why is no one running in the house at 2am? Why is no one using the shower when I want to?! This isn't okay.

5. You know way too much about each other's personal lives

Without realizing it, too. I'll be talking with my roommate about a guy, and I start to think I know more about that guy than he knows about himself.

6. Having house parties makes for the best morning talks

I.e a dog pile of everyone in the living room crying laughing over what happened the night before.

7. Each of you brings something unique to the table

As in we have some late night food smashers, some (unreasonably) early risers, the moms, the sleepless and the reckless. Together, we make a pretty solid bunch.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
