You just got your license and you are feeling free, grown and like a million bucks! Except your parents are still too nervous about letting you drive around by yourself, or worse… with your friends. For some, coming home from school means you have not touched a car in about five months so, you know, that means you might crash the car. So here you have a little something something to make you laugh about your driving skills. ;)

1.You just got your license.

Nothing and no one can stop you. The streets should be afraid now that you are out and about in the neighborhood!

2. But you are really a turtle.

You like to think that the streets and people should be afraid of you having a car but really you are going right on the speed limit, if not under, for the first few months after you get your license, and all the other drivers honk at you.

3. Other drivers scare the bejesus out of you.

You are a good driver nobody is denying that, but how can you know that the other drivers are good, huh? Huh? You might get into an accident and die today.
(Not really! I don't think anybody is that pessimistic);

4. You start getting confident, and then…

You hit that pothole your parents told you about and you get scared and start thinking that you are actually not that good of a driver and want to take a break.

5. You start getting confident, and then… (Part 2)

You parents, specially your dad (at least in my case), starts telling you everything you are doing wrong and how you should have avoided that pothole and which way is faster and everything. I know what I’m doing dad, I promise!

6. Your driving is pretty on point.

Your parking job though, not so much. You have hit the parking stoppers at the end of the parking spot and even gone on top of them when you try to go forward but you forgot the car was still on reverse. Yeah, it happens to the best of us.

7. Your parents finally trust you enough.


So they start asking you to drive your siblings everywhere and go grocery shopping and dropping them off at work and picking them up later again, ugh seriously guys? I have a life! Yeah it consists of watching TV and eating and laughing at vines, but like… it’s still a life!

8. When you are alone.


Or if you're with your sibling you can turn up the music and sing out loud, and it is the best driving related feeling ever.

9. And then you get that scare...

In which a dumb driver almost runs into your car while trying to get out of a crowded lane, but he clearly didn't even look into your lane because he would have smashed your car really hard if you hadn't been paying attention and had hit the break as hard as you could. Then you proceed to show them the middle finger and they show you theirs too… Why? I don't know but they messed up. Don't let them get you off driving though!

10. You realize that it is not that bad!

Driving has its good side and its bad side but after a while you just feel neutral about it. Unless you encounter another person like the one from number nine.

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.
