Wow, what a rollercoaster the past 9-10 months have been.

So much has happened and changed this past year, some for the good, and some for the bad. I have to say I honestly have no idea if my Freshman year was a win or not, but I did it. And the horrible parts get to stay in the past. I will say there are some things I'll miss and somethings I can't wait to leave.

Goodbye dorm life, I won't miss a second of you. I won't miss the people above me playing music at all hours of the day, I won't miss the tiny cube of a room I live in. I won't miss the fire drills, and floor meetings. I will miss the elevator rides with my friends. I'll miss being a floor away from the vending machines, I'll miss riding around on elevator carts and ordering pizza at all hours without judgment, but in all reality, I won't miss you.

Goodbye dining hall food. We had our ups and our downs and you never seemed to serve chicken tender enough but thank you for having a ton of fries. I'll miss the hot cocoa, and being able to pick what I wanted to eat at each meal. I won't miss the weird combinations of food you had. I won't miss all the weight I gained from you. But I will miss all the deserts and having so many different drink options each day. So thank you for keeping me alive these past few months.

Goodbye hall staff, you all were the best thing to come out of dorm life. I appreciate each and every one of you so much. You all deal with some crazy stuff, and always seem to know how to fix any problem that arose during the year. I will miss seeing each of your faces every day as a roamed the halls each day. Without you all my Freshman year would have been extremely different, and next year it will be weird not having you around. So thank you!

And to my classes, I am glad to say I passed all of you. Some with flying colors, and some without. You are the one thing that stays constant over the next three years so I can't say I'll have time to miss you.

So goodbye Freshman year. Goodbye Missouri State, I'll see you in August.

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.
