In today's meme culture, our entire news feed is filled with people tagging each other in posts. If I'm being completely honest, I think memes are the only reason Facebook is still relevant and fun anymore.

Don't lie. When you go on Facebook and see this in your notifications, you feel happy and get excited. Besides the fact that they are relatable, why do memes make us feel so good?

1. It's nice to know that someone thought about you.

Whether they are out to roast you or it's a sweet little tag, just the fact that someone thought about you during their day warms your heart. Sometimes a meme is enough to brighten up your day and make you smile.

2. A lot of them are inside jokes that no one else will understand.

More often than not, the comment section is funnier than the meme. Almost no words following the tag are needed for the other person to catch on to the inside joke. Maybe the meme perfectly describes a situation or it secretly hints at something only you two know. Either way, they're so much fun!

3. It's a quick way to show someone you appreciate their friendship.

If you are anything like me and do not outwardly show affection (or any emotion, really) too often, memes are a perfect way to show someone that you care. They're quick, funny and light-hearted. On the contrary, memes are also great for people who LOVE expressing love to their best friends! Memes exist for almost any situation and, chances are, your best friend is the first one that comes to mind to tag.

4. They relate perfectly to things you've done together.

Throwing it back to that time when you were in the car with your friend who is a terrible driver or that final you almost failed together is why memes are hilarious. Sometimes, they serve to foreshadow things you HAVE to do together, like making that mouthwatering recipe, going on a Starbucks run or finally meeting up after not seeing each other for months.

5. The meme itself is too accurate.

Some memes are literally hilarious and spot on. Either the caption is completely relatable or the picture/gif matches the situation perfectly. Getting tagged in these types of memes actually makes you laugh out loud.

I doubt memes will ever become irrelevant because they continue to stay relatable and exciting. Life is much more fulfilling when you can instantly share it with others and laugh alongside the company of your friends.

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.

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.
