I recently have started watching "Fuller House" on my dear friend's Netflix that I mooch off of (which only reinforces my point in this article, but I digress.) For those of you who haven't seen "Fuller House," you've at least seen "Full House," right? Come on, it's a classic. Any who, in the process of watching this series, I reached a point where I realized -- I'm the Kimmy Gibbler.

In case you don't know what a "Kimmy Gibbler" is, Kimmy is the quirky next-door neighbor who practically lives at the house of the protagonists rather than her own, and in the series reboot, she basically invites herself to actually move in with the family. So yeah, I'm that girl that spends more time at my neighbor's abode than my own. But in true "Gibbler-style," I embrace this fact. So for all of you who currently have or have ever had that one place you live at more than your own, here are all the perks of being the "Kimmy Gibbler" of the group and making your neighbors your best friends.

1. Save gas money.

You don't even have to walk to your car to go see your friends.

2. Always have dinner buddies.

Why eat alone if you can just make yourself at home in your neighbor's kitchen (or drag them with you to get food?)

3. Decorating ideas.

Especially if you're in an apartment, if it works for their room, it'll probably work for your room too.

4. Free rides.

You're going to Walmart? I call shotgun.

5. Homework parties.

"Have fun while getting everything done." - Neighbor

6. No shoes required.

You know you've really made yourself at home when you reach barefoot-status.

7. You can bring your own bed to sleep over.

"It's literally just right there, let me go drag my entire mattress over here real quick."

8. I'm too lazy to make friends that live more than three feet away.

Why leave your own neighborhood or hallway to make friends?

9. No knocking necessary.

Yeah, I really only knock if the door's locked…

10. There's usually at least 1 to 4 people available for moral support at any hour of the day.

Is there really such thing as a bad time to ask your neighbors a random question?

11. You can go home anytime you need to.

No need to worry about forgetting anything in your own apartment.

12. Cry together.

Friends who live next to each other stick next to each other.

13. They have food.

Mi casa es su casa, mi comida es su comida…?

14. You share recipes and spices like grown-ups.

Pssh, forget running to the store to get more eggs, let me just walk next door and see if they have any.

15. Company when all your roomies go home for the weekend.

There's a whole other room of friends waiting! (Theoretically)

16. Extended roommates when you need bandaids, a plunger, a mop…

Altogether, we make one complete adult human being.

17. You have a couch to crash on when you get locked out of your room.

… I speak from experience.

18. You can pretend to be a part of another family.

When you jump in on roommate meetings and you have to remind yourself, "I don't actually live here…"

19. They're pretty cool I guess.

Even if they weren't my neighbors, we'd still be friends. The proximity's just a pretty big perk.

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.
