To College Students On Their Last Stretch Of The Semester, You Can Do This

I think that we can all agree that this semester has been a tough one. Classes were tough and the cold weather has made it even worse.

There is only one thing on all of our minds. SUMMER.

Ah, summer. Warm and sunny days, no homework to worry about.

We are all getting so anxious about it, which is understandable. It's been a long year. If you're like me, you're probably feeling like your brain is about to explode, and that you can't possibly fathom doing one more assignment.

You probably are thinking about giving up and doing something else with your life.

But don't.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

You only have one more month of this and then you are free for a whole summer. You're free from mean professors, group projects, and awful exams.

Do not give up now!

This is the hardest time of year because summer is so close, we can almost taste it. We can almost feel the warm sun on our skin.

But then we wake up, and it's gross out and we have to go to class.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

You are going to feel so amazing when you turn that last exam in and walk out of the classroom, and into summer mode.

I know it's tough to stay strong right now and to keep your head in the books, but you have got this.

Don't forget about why you're taking these classes in the first place. You are going to have an amazing career and life, this is just one rough patch. This is just one obstacle that you have to get through.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

Yeah, classes suck, but you know what's worse? Working a mediocre job for the rest of your life because you gave up instead of getting your degree.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

Just remember, everywhere you look is another college student who is going through the same thing you are.

If they can get through this next month, so can you.

Now get to the library, study your face off, and kill your exams! Summer will be so much sweeter knowing that you worked as hard as you could in your classes.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

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.
