Feelings About Going Back to School After the Holidays

1. Excited because you're going to get to show off all of your new clothes that you got as presents


2. But you also realize that you've gained a bit of weight since you came home...

(Definitely ate one too many holiday cookies...)


3. So you should probably start a new workout routine

...It's not that easy


4. But you're also just so pumped because you're finally going get to see with your friends that you haven't seen in weeks!!!


5. When you professors start emailing you about winter classes or spring semester, but winter break isn't even over yet...

Can you not?


6. When you realize that even though you'll get to see your friends, you're also going to run into people you don't like again...


7. Winter also means that it'll be freezing cold, and you won't even have the holidays to make up for it anymore

I have to walk to class in this???

8. When it occurs to you that you're going to have to start doing homework and studying again


9. But you also get to go out with your friends again

Much needed


10. You no longer have your parents to feed you so you have to pay for all of your own food

Is it acceptable to eat mac n' cheese for breakfast, lunch and dinner?


11. And the worst part... you have to leave your parents, siblings, and relatives again

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.
