It’s The Second Week Of The Quarter And I’m Already Over It

Basically, college sucks.

This summer vacation has been amazing and I am extremely saddened to see it go. I recently started going to class again and I completely miss the days of sun kissed skin and the smell of too much sunscreen. Looking at how this quarter has started I was definitely not prepared to come back to college.

My first week of class went a little like this: The first class that I went to I was 5 minutes late as I could not find the room, even though I have been at this University for going on two and a half years. When I sat down it took me all of two seconds to realize that I had dropped my pencil pouch on my way there. Well my second class didn’t go any better than that.

From everything that happened to me I am optimistic that my second week will be a lot better. Although I am already feeling the urge to skip class, I will try to commit to the idea that I will not miss a single class unless it is an emergency. It’s proving to be quite difficult to readjust to having homework and deadlines. I can’t believe it’s so early into the year and I already feel like poking my eyes out in anguish.

Being that it is my last year in college I will blame it on SENIORITOUS. Approaching the day of graduation is making me feel like I just want to get there and not do much in order to get there. I need to recenter myself and understand that I am so close to college graduation and that I will make it. The end is close and I can see it, taste it, and feel it.

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.
