The Defenders are awesome. College is okay.

A College Semester, As Told By Marvel's 'The Defenders'
The Defenders

We're not all superheroes like the Defenders, (even though they didn't like to refer to themselves as heroes) so unfortunately, we don't have Matt's super hearing or Luke's ability to not be broken. But this is what a new semester in college looks like as told by the Defenders:

When you have to fight people once again for the next semester's classes. It's a struggle and a jungle when you really want to take that Biology lab at 10 AM instead of 8 AM. You ask around if people want to switch and are willing to throw some hands.

Every morning on the way to your 8am class with your best friend: coffee. It won't even just be 8am classes. Your first class could be at 11am, and you'll probably still need it.

When someone thinks group projects are amazing. No. You're wrong. Group projects in a new class are always horrible. The people you have in your group don't even have to be horrible. It's just the fact of having to meet up when everyone has different schedules, or maybe not being on the same page when it comes to the work.

When you pass by dumb people on campus. Usually one of those conservative mini rallies for me. Or when you pass by someone you don't like.

When the professor goes from the syllabus to actual lecture on the first day of class. Like seriously, what? WHY? This can also be you when the professor says something you don't understand at all.

When you try to start your assignments early so you have enough time, but then they hit you all at once because you waited until the last minute. I hope I'm not the only who tries to be on top of their game, but falls on their butt when it doesn't work out.

When you finally get to go out with your friends and end up maybe a little too drunk. The week is over, and you just want to have some fun. No one is blaming or judging you.

Good luck to everyone starting a new semester! Let's all hope we kick ass like the Defenders did.

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.
