If You Give A College Kid Some Homework

You will have to bring them more coffee.

If You Give A College Kid Some Homework
Kayla Short

If you give a college kid some homework, they will want to get some coffee.

So, you take them to Starbucks.

While at Starbucks, they will see and be reminded of a book they want to read.

You will have to take them to the library to find that book.

While searching for that book, they see a sign that says "Free Puppy Hugs!"

And you know what that means.

Exactly 45 minutes and 50 hugs later, you walk out of the library.

Right outside, you meet a friend of theirs that they haven't seen "in, like, five-ever!!"

So, you patiently wait for them to catch up on the latest gossip.

They finally part ways, and you remind them of their homework.

They check their backpack to make sure they got everything, and realize they totally left it behind in the classroom.

So, you go back to get it.

Going back to the classroom, they pass a vending machine, reminding them of how hungry they are.

The candy bar you get them will not be enough, so you will have to take them grocery shopping.

As you walk around the grocery store, you will pass the cleaning supplies aisle. This will remind them how dirty their room/apartment is, so you will have to take them back and wait as they tidy up a bit.

Two hours later, they will feel exhausted, and want to sit down to relax for a while.

They will want to watch Netflix.

Three and a half shows later, you remind them of their homework that they have yet to complete all day.

This stresses them out, so they will take a nap.

They are VERY grumpy when you try to wake them up after 15 minutes, so you wait another hour.

They finally stir, and claim they had a dream about finishing the homework. You sadly tell them it is still not done yet.

They cry.

You tell them to wait until tomorrow to finish it since it's not due immediately.

But if you tell them to procrastinate, tomorrow they will simply be given more homework and be reminded of how much work they have to do.

You will have to bring them more coffee.

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.
