I believe that life should be care-free beyond college graduation. This personal belief of mine is derived from the American sitcom known as ‘Friends.’ That’s right! The show that is about six friends living their nonchalant lives in Manhattan during the late 20th century.

These six friends are known as the princess Rachel Green, the quirky Phoebe Buffay, the high-maintenance Monica Geller, the womanizer Joey Tribbiani, the nerd Ross Geller, and the funny one Chandler Bing. I believe that this sitcom isn’t like any other American sitcom from the past or present, because today everybody, whether they grew up in the 90s or not, is still buzzing about it as it is still relatable to our lives today.

Not much has changed since the series ended in 2004 because all six of these friends are still trying to figure out their lives when they’re all in their mid-twenties, which is around the time after we graduate college. I believe that there are still plenty of people out there today who are in their mid-twenties and they still don’t know what they’re going to do with the rest of their lives like the cast of ‘Friends’ .

I believe that the message the TV show ‘Friends’ sends is that it’s okay to not know you are doing with the rest of your life beyond college as long as you have your friends. Overall, it is okay to still be looking for love, looking for a job, exploring your sexuality, looking for a new place to live, or to be figuring out where the rest of your life is headed.

It is okay to still be a confused college freshman after you graduate because life's too short to be worrying about all of the long-term things all at once. I believe that as long as you have a group of close friends who are going through the same struggles as you then you are all set. Throughout the entire series of ‘Friends’, the whole squad of Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Joey, Ross, and Chandler go through a major emotional roller coaster. Whether it involves everyone winning the lottery together. Ross and Rachel were on a break after their consistent on-and-off relationship.

Or Phoebe deciding to carry triplets for her brother Frank Jr. and his way too old of a wife Alice because they couldn’t have their own children. But despite this getting the best of everyone, in the end, all of them somehow magically come together in order to help each other realize that they will all always be friends. All of them love each other; whether in a romantic way, a bromance type way, or as a best friend. Some morals and beliefs about how life should be should never change, no matter how long ago they were. I believe that no one told you life was going to be this way.

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.
