Ah, it’s that time again. The time for school to reward you with refund money! You’ve been waiting weeks for that money drop in your bank account and now you can start flashing those Benjamin’s for all your friends to see.

Just kidding don’t do that. It's never nice to brag.

With money comes great responsibility, ie. bills, bills, bills.

1. House Rent

I can’t describe to you the initial joy I feel in my soul when I see how much refund money I’m getting back from the school. You feel on top of the world and nothing can bring you down…until a letter from housing comes in about your rent being due. I will say half of my money goes into paying my housing rent. It sucks and there’s nothing I can do about it but then again that’s one part of being a pre-adult in college.

2. Shopping for fall clothes

Those clothing items from H&M that have been in your favorites list for weeks now, yeah, you can finally put them in the shopping cart. Ka-ching!

3. Concert tickets that aren't for Ed Sheeran

You missed seeing Ed Sheeran in concert but don’t be down in the dumps because The Killers are coming to Atlanta! And if you can’t wait quite that long, there’s always Taeyang to keep you company until then.

4. That venti Starbucks drink you don't need (but still get it 2x a week!)

I'm not much of a coffee drinker but somehow I find myself standing in line at Starbucks just for a Caramel Macchiato. Hot or cold, tall or venti, this drink owns me. And this is from a former Starbucks snob.

5. Guac at Chipotle because YES, you know it's extra, and YES, you can afford it

Chipotle, chipotle, chipotle! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the breadth and height my soul can reach.

6. That Macbook you've had your eye on.

I can only justify plopping $1k on a laptop if it is an Apple product. If it's not Apple then it's not worth my hard-earned money.

P.S. I am not sponsored by Apple but will gladly be part of their marketing team :)

7. Korean sweets and BBQ

You tell me I can go to an all-you-can-eat buffet that consists of only Korean food for just $23, with all the side dishes I could ever want? Count me in! Now that we have both Sweet Hut and Iron Age so close to KSU, everyone's spending their moolah at these awesome places.

8. Textbooks and access codes

Don't you just hate being forced to buy access codes for one class you'll never take again. Ugh! Say goodbye to that chunk of money you thought would be safe and instead be used for both textbooks and access codes. Double whammy!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
