You thought it was just like any ordinary Monday. A standard, boring day -- wake up, go to class, get coffee, and do some work. While in a coffeeshop though, you check your Snapchat. You receive a snap from your friend that declares “PRINCE HARRY IS ENGAGED!!!!!!”

“What?” you think to yourself, and then you research. Investigating, you verify this claim and then frantically research ‘Meghan Markle’.

Being an avid ‘Suits’ fan, I knew her character Rachel Zane well. In ‘Suits’ her character plays an incredibly smart, driven, and beautiful paralegal who has a tumultuous but adorable relationship with another protagonist, Mike Ross. I connect Meghan Markle to her character, but, I don’t know much about the woman who is going to be entering the Royal Family. I know she's talented and beautiful, but what else?

1. She's originally from Los Angeles, California (#calirepping in the Royal Fam)

2. She graduated from Northwestern in 2003 with a degree in theatre and international studies

3. She was a Kappa Kappa Gamma at Northwestern

4. She is a global ambassador for World Vision Canada, and travels to Rwanda for their Clean Water Campaign which seeks to provide safe, clean drinking water

5. She has worked with the UN Entity for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women

6. She was married to actor and producer Trevor Engelson from 2011-2013

7. She and Prince Harry were set up by a friend on a blind date

(Get me a friend like that?!).

8. She is going to be baptized and confirmed in the Church of England, and will also become a British citizen

It's going to take 5 years (maybe a bit shorter) for her to gain citizenship, so she can't get a fancy title until she is officially a citizen.

9. Her engagement ring is made up of three diamonds, two of which came from jewelry collection of Princess Diana

10. After the upcoming final season of 'Suits,' Meghan is going to give up her acting career to focus her time completely on humanitarian work.

Meghan has solidified that 'The Prince And Me' is a real possibility for some people. You have to be super accomplished and model-level pretty, but I guess it's possible!

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.
