Going Out with Friends, as told by "Friends"
http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2014/09/hunting-snark-friends-20-years

It's 9 PM on a Saturday night. You're laying in bed contemplating whether or not you want to get fries or a milkshake, and you're about to start your new show on Netflix. Suddenly, you hear a knock at your door, and when you get up to open it, you see your best friends. They're all dressed nicely and have huge smiles on their faces. They have come to convince you to come out with them that night, but you're quick to make an excuse that you would prefer to spend the night in. However, after being especially persistent, they eventually persuade you to, and they couldn't be more excited.

After much convincing, your friends finally motivate you to get out of bed and into a party mood. As you're getting ready, you continue to get more and more excited to spend the night out with the people who make you happiest. Dressed in your nicest outfit, you look in the mirror and realize that you couldn't be more presentable. Once you get to the pregame, you realize that it was your calling to refrain from your laziness that night. Before you know it, you're having the time of your life.

After spending way too much money to get to your destination, you walk into the frat, probably way too drunk to keep yourself from singing along with the overplayed music that the DJ decides to play. You run to claim the pong table with the hopes of starting a game with your friends, but everyone seems too focussed on dancing to "All Night Longer" by Sammy Adams.

Eventually, you find yourself back on the dance floor with them. Overplayed songs from the radio start to play. Typically when you're sober, you dread hearing such music. However, now that you're out having a good time, you can't help but sing along with them. After a while, you notice one of your friends is missing. You turn around and see her hooking up with one of the frat brothers (that she has claimed, multiple times, she would never get with again). You confront her and pull her away from him as fast as you can.

Your friend then pulls you over and asks if you want to get some punch. You have high hopes for it, praying that it will taste good this time, but the second it touches your tongue you cannot help but gag. You have no idea if it tastes more like Monster, fruit punch, or milk that went bad in 2006.

After trying to drink away your stresses, you go back to the dance floor to look for your friends. You notice that one of them is with her boyfriend, and the other two have are interacting with people you don't know. You start to look for someone to keep you company, but knowing you, that's most likely not going to happen. You decide you'll just be forever alone and spend your life with your cat.

You start to feel a little tired, so eventually, you and your friends make it outside and start to look for a cab. You're lucky enough to find one, but once you call it over, one of your friends trips behind you and falls over drunkenly. You run back to help her as the rest of your friends, delirious, run to the cab without any idea of what has happened. The cab leaves, and you and your drunk friend are stranded at the frat house. It's 4 AM before you can find another ride, and once you get her back to her room on campus, you could not be more excited. When you open the door, your roommate wakes up in shock, asking if you are okay. You claim you had an incredible night, but you're just trying to remember everything that happened.

The next morning, your group chat is blowing up over iMessage. Everyone can't believe what they did, got themselves into, and have no memory of the night whatsoever. Obviously, it was a successful night out with your friends.

We all know that a night out with friends always has its perks. I'm absolutely sure that Rachel, Ross, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler and Joey could 100% relate.

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.
