I can't focus in my room to save my life. I get so distracted and end up falling asleep or sitting on my phone.

Off to the library, I go. Except when I say that I'm doing a "quick study session" I won't roll out of there until it closes.

Obviously, if you're going to sell your soul to your study space, you need to do everything in your power to make the experience as painless as possible. I can forget about how I'm failing my history class for a few moments if I have my favorite snack with me.

There's also that advice about how taking breaks to clear your head is important, but get real. College students don't have time for breaks at this point. It's all or nothing, so might as well make your stay here as comfortable as possible with these 12 items.

1. Neck pillow

Amazon

This neck pillow is designed to keep you as comfortable as possible in any sitting position. It's so comfy that you could literally take a nap sitting up. I'm guilty of doing this in the library, so snooze away.

Find on Amazon for $29.97

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
