This year my 5 best friends and I embarked on the journey of moving into our cute home altogether. This journey had been a long time coming considering we had decided on this living situation in October of our freshman year.

Living with this group of girls has been such a blessing to me and has taught me not only more about myself but even more about them! We have gotten closer, grown together, and made our house a home. We have had countless laughs and some cries, but we have supported each other throughout the process and have truly become a family.

Living with girls brings a whole lot to the table. I have learned more than I thought possible from my roommates, so with this in mind, here are 5 things I have learned from living with my girl gang:)

1. We all have started to talk the same way.

I am 100% someone who picks up and adapts to the people I am around. This has definitely been the circumstance living with 5 other girls. Eventually, we have all started saying the same phrases, using the same language, and talking in inside jokes. We all seem to hear a phrase and run with it and for some time it is all our house will be saying, but it makes things funnier and makes all the more similar

2. Hair

My roommates and I seem to have a whole lot of hair between the 6 of us. It's quite inevitable that living with a house of girls means hair being everywhere. At this point, it does not seem to even phase any of us. As a blonde I'll look down and notice brown hair on my sweater and it will just make me laugh thinking about my roommates and all the poor hair that has been lost in our home; just part of being girls I guess:)

3. Need medicine? Shampoo? Someone's got it.

Our house is almost like our own personal drug store. Between the 6 of us, we pretty much own any medicine under the sun and can be there in a split second when one of us runs out of something. Game days were always my favorite when we all got ready together and swapped makeup, clothes, lipstick; all the girly things

4. Girls LOVE sweets.

My house has got a pretty bad sweet tooth. We love all the sweets and are always down for milkshake dates. Definitely thankful to have roommates that appreciate some ice cream as much as I do

5. Dance parties. Any time. Any day.

We love a good sing-a-long and dance party at our home. My roommates are the funniest dancers and never fail to brighten my day when we jam out to some throwback songs.

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.
