Do you ever wake up after a dream and remember something very specific?

Sometimes we dream of things depending on our emotional and physical state. It could be unconsciously occurring right now, or may occur in the future. Dreams can help you figure out your path in life, or make you understand your emotions better.

Here are some popular symbols you might have been dreaming about:

1. Teeth falling out.

This means that you might be feeling trapped, secluded, or controlled.

2. Getting chased.

I used to dream about this a lot. I would be running from someone, but in super slow motion. This means you are feeling stressed or in danger. You might be stressed out with family, friends, or school.

3. Demons or monsters.

This can mean that you need to change something about yourself. You may see yourself as a demon, looking to become someone new.

This is a very popular one. Sometimes you might wake up from your body spazzing out, because in your dream, you were falling. This just means that you may need to let go of something you have been holding on to for so long.

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.

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.
