5 Times College Has Made You Feel Like Patrick Star

You know those points in the semester when the world will either seem completely perfect and sunny, or those times where you think the world is about to end and everything is going wrong? Well, so does my friend Patrick Star, and here are some ways I relate to this cartoon character in my college career:

1. When the semester starts and you try and impress your professors.

This is a pretty accurate depiction, especially with my level of awkwardness.

2. Trying to eat in between classes during the lunch rush...

Need I say more?

3. When you start noticing all the bills and loans (tuition, room and board, food, air, a rip in the space time continuum).

...well...campus food IS super expensive.

4. When it's your first year and you walk into the totally wrong classroom.

Yes, I am 100% guilty as charged for this one.

5. When you survive those nights that you'll never forget with the best people in your life.

Seriously. You'll probably say this sentence a couple of times during your college career.

So there you have it folks, college life told by Patrick Star. Just remember that in college to study, have fun, and make the best memories of your life. You'll never get to relive them!

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.

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.
