It's already March which means that Summer is just around the corner. If you're anything like me, all Winter you've been vegging out, binge watching Netflix and stuffing Oreos in your face like they're going out of style. But now, it's time to get back into the swing of things and work on your Summer bod.

Here are five exercises to help you get the flat stomach you want for Summer!

1. Diagonal Plank

This exercise is done exactly how the picture looks. You hold out one of your arms and your opposite leg at the same time. I'd recommend holding this pose for 30 seconds each side.

2. V-Crunch

This one is bit tough. Again, just like in the picture, you hover your upper and lower body up only balancing on your booty, and then, using your abs, you pull yourself up into a seated position with your legs coming to a table-top position. Remember to keep your abs engaged throughout the entire workout (including between reps). I would recommend 3 sets of 10 reps.

3. Crunch-chop

More crunches! For this one, you lay on your back with your legs together, straight up in the air, and have your hands clasps above your head. When you do the crunch, your legs open up to a V shape and your arms slice between your legs. If you want to you can had weight, just hold a dumbbell in your hands. For this exercise I would recommend 4 sets of 12 reps.

4. Flutter Kicks

In this exercise you lay on your back with your legs hovering slightly above the ground. After that, cross your legs right over left and then switch (repeat this movement for the whole time)! I would recommend doing this for 45 seconds!

5. Reverse Crunch

For this last exercise lay on your back and hold your legs up in there air, they can be a little bent. After that, lift your hips up off the ground using only your abs (not your arms/hands). I recommend to repeat this action for 4 sets of 12 reps.

Get ready to achieve your summer body goals!

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.
