After, a few months into college every student learns new things about themselves. You've probably noticed some of the guilty habits you've developed by now. You have probably learned new life hacks, made more excuses, and ate much unhealthier than usual. Now, more than ever we, as college students have made a complete 360 on who we are as students from the past. College is stressful, college is for new experiences, and college is for learning how to be on your own. College may or may not have changed you, but let's be honest we can all admit to the following twenty-seven things...

1. Making an excuse to not go to class

brave

Whether it be, its too cold outside, or my bed it too comfy.

2. Adding ramen to your daily diet

Ramen all day, everyday.

3. Skipping class to study for another class

This is a re-occurring problem during midterms.

4. Wearing the same outfit two days in a row with the excuse of, "The same people won't see me".

simpsons

I cannot argue with this point!

5. Buying a Starbucks drink everyday

Is it really worth it?

The answer is, yes.

6. Socializing at the library instead of studying

If all of your best buddies and classmates are in the same room, it is inevitable to not socialize!

7. Falling asleep in class and then pretending like you know what is going on in lecture

sleeping

Participation points are key and so is making it till you fake it.

8. Being late to class, because you were using the elevator instead of the stairs

elevator

We walk enough and then they expect us to walk up two flights of stairs.

Coming. To. Class. Out. Of. Breath.

9. Emailing professors at 11:30 pm right before an assignment is due

emails

It happens...

10. Blaming technology for tuning an assignment in on late

We all have made this excuse once or another time in our college career.

11. Online shopping in class for literally anything from Korean face masks to tiny sunnies.

College students are broke, so our shopping cart stays full and our wallet stays empty.

12. Skipping class due to the effects from the night before

sleep

Self-explanatory college student guilty moment.

13.Finding numerous ways to finesse laundry coin machines

We all know the coin hack by now.

14. Saying "awwww" every time you see a pet on campus

Okay, but they are so cute.

Please do not pet unless you are given permission by the owner!

15. Pretending to look busy when the professor is trying to randomly select a student to call on

math

Please please, please not me!

16. Making at least one reliable friend in each class to help you with assignments, but never emebring their name

Contact Name: Guy from English 101 that always wears a hat

17. Going out to eat and getting food delivered when you have numerous meal swipes left

Dining halls are a no-go and it's so much more convenient when it comes to you.

18. Doing the bare minimum and then rewarding yourself...For no reason 

pat on back

You deserve that nap and a "Stranger Things" Marathon.

19. Ignoring the gym because you felt you walked enough on campus to suffice you a lifetime

walking

This was enough exercise, right?

20. Going to events just to wear that perfect outfit

outfit

Students wear casual clothes 24/5 days a week. So, we are allowed to dress nice every once a while and switch-up our look.

21. Spending way to much time on social media 

phone

It's so easy to get distracted by social media when doing literally anything,

22. Parking in a spot that you know may risk you a parking ticket

"I hope I don't get a ticket".

23. Not looking at the weather before class

rain

Every, Single. Time.

Be prepared by writing a note to remind you on your desk!

24. Not calling your family and friends from back home enough to remind them how much they mean to you

miss you

We think it all the time, but saying it makes your loved ones feel special. College gets busy, but remember who is rooting for you away from school.

CALL THEM.

25. Reorganizing your dorm room to avoid homework and respobsibilites

cleaning

I don't know whats worse; a dirty room or not doing homework.

26. When your professor allows for a cheat sheet on the exam and you write in the tiniest font possible

Downfall: Later not being able to read what you wrote.

27. Not taking enough care of their mental, physical, and emotional health 

So, so, so important to take care of yourself!

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.
