Junior year. The year you feel like you really have to enjoy because college is almost at its end. Just one more year and you're off to the real world. Who would've thought that it would come this fast?

The third year of college is the year everything starts to pick up a little. Your workload gets a lot tougher, you're in the library longer, and you have to start thinking about your future career, which is more than a little scary. But junior year does have its perks, like turning 21 and finally being able to go to the bars instead of drinking in fraternity basements.

Who better to describe this tumultuous year than Rachel Green, who is a prime example of someone trying to figure out their life and future.

1. When you have to start searching for internships for the upcoming summer.

3. When it's your last chance to change your major, but you're not sure what to do.

4. When there's only one year of college left and you're still single.

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.

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.
