College life is kind of nuts: bad hookups, 30-page papers, ragers at 10 am on a Sunday. Though it's no NYC living, college has its many moments. Here are some of the best and worst, as illustrated by the crew of "Friends."

1. The One With the Laundry Day:

The quintessential, "I have nothing else to wear and probably won't leave this building today" look.

2. The One With the Formal:

Chugging that mixed drink during your 2-hour bar reservation to make the most of that $20 cover is the epitome of formal SZN.

3. The One With the Spring Break Vacation:


Long gone are the days of family vacations. College is a time for friends to chip in together and spend all of their money on a boozy week that you probably won't be telling your parents--let alone anyone--about.

4. The One With the One Night Stand:

It happens. And the next day...

5. The One With the Walk of Shame:

Whether too small or too large, that outfit you're wearing Sunday morning at 6 am across campus? Definitely not yours.

6. The One With the Halloween Party:

Some people go all-out, some people took five minutes to throw something together, but one thing is for sure: nothing is scarier on Halloween than a college party.

7. The One Where You Go Home for Winter Break:

Bubble baths, homemade food, cozy fireplaces, galore!

8. The One With the Intramural Sports Team:

So you ~may~ have peaked athletically in high school, but you can still show those classmates what you've got on the ultimate frisbee field (which is, admittedly, not a lot).

9. The One With the Liberal Arts Hipster Dude:

There's one in every philosophy class. This round-rimmed, flannel, and graphic tee wearing stud will both make you misunderstand Plato and break you in the process.

10. The One With the Difficult Reading Assignment:


300 pages about the evolution of the modern prison system? No thank you, sir.

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:

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.
