By the time August rolls around, most every college student can't wait to get back to school.

You look forward to reuniting with friends and getting back to your routines.

There is so much excitement that accompanies college move in that you almost forget about the fact that you actually have to move in. If you haven't experienced move in yet, let me just say good luck because you will need it.

Here are 10 thoughts that just about every college student has on move-in day:

1. "I'll probably never wear this but I'm going to pack it just in case."

When you're packing for college, you have no idea what you're really going to need. So why not just pack everything?

2. "Why did I pack so much stuff?"

Shortly after packing everything you own, you will realize that you do not have nearly enough space.

3. "I wish I lived on the first floor."

If you're lucky enough to have elevators, you'll spend have your day waiting around for one to arrive. But if the only way up to your ninth floor dorm room is by stairs, well then bless your soul.

4. "Mom please leave, you're embarrassing me."

5. "Mom can you move in with me?"

Moms just do everything better and being on your own can be hard. You need your mom more than you think.

6. "Whoever invented Command Strips must be a millionaire."

Because you can do just about anything with those things.

7. "I'm definitely bringing less stuff next year!"

But we all know you will be hauling the same crap into your dorm next year.

8. "How is it possible to sweat this much while unpacking?"

I'm not sure if it's because I'm excited, nervous, or just really out of shape.

9. "Will this ever end?"


The car is like Mary Poppin's bag. You've been unloading for hours, but have made zero progress.

10. "I'm never doing this again."

Here's to another great year!

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.
