There is no feeling quite like the one that you get as classes approach again after a long, relaxing break. The sequence of events that slowly begin to happen as both the teachers and students prepare for a full schedule of stress again gives most people a stomach ache. Please find some humor as "Grey's Anatomy" describes what we are all feeling inside as we realize that classes are beginning again. I mean, who needs sleep and a social life, anyway?

1. When your teacher assigns work over break

No, I really don't care about your class... yet. Too soon.

2. When you start to think about classes starting again


If I pretend it's not happening, will that make it go away?

3. When your teacher sends the generic "Welcome to My Class" e-mail


*Types into Google* "How much does a stripper make a year?"

4. Reading the syllabus like


Hey, at least we get a week devoted to nothing.

5. Realizing classes start in a matter of days


So not ready yet.

6. When they talk about optional meetings that may be beneficial to the class

#college.

7. Discussing dropping out with your friends

Thanks, I needed that.

8. When you think about your qualities that could help you get by if you drop out


Emphasis on the "..."

9. Looking at the class schedule


Who needs a social life, anyway?

10. When the teacher is already telling you to "look up" every question you ask

I already don't like you.

11. Not feeling like you are qualified for the classes you are taking


Adulting is hard.

12. Convincing yourself that you can handle it all


Deep breath in, deep breath out. You got this.

13. When your teacher asks if you did the work he/she assigned over break


Oops.

14. Beginning your first assignment


15. Taking the first exam

Does it really matter how many apples Sally has left when divided by the square root of the sun?

16. When your friends ask how you did on the first exam

17. The reoccurring question

18. And of course, encouraging your classmates that sticking with it will be worth it in the end


All joking aside, this is your sign that you've got this. I have faith in you, and it's going to be worth it!

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.
