I just want an appropriate nap time.

At the end of 2017, I am hoping to be an official COLLEGE GRADUATE. However excited I may be, I can't help but think about how good I had it when I was in kindergarten (which up until today, thought it was spelled kindergarDen)... ANYWAYS! I realize as I'm working on 30 case reports, three projects, and papers for days, just how nice it would be to just go back to the days when I cried because I had to leave.

1. Nap time!

I mean, the 10-15 minutes in between classes are a nice time to grab a couple of z's. But... of course, you don't because that's "unacceptable."

2. Playing house

It's not fun anymore. Paying bills is not something we did in the house corner of the classroom. It's real.

3. Book buddies

Although I didn't like mine at first, he still read me Barbie books. If I had to pay someone to read any book I pick, it would be my textbooks...

4. Long recess

The only recess I get is walking my dog and walking to class.

5. Cleaning desks with shaving cream

Yup... Shaving cream is too expensive to waste like that now. But I'll never forget how fun it was writing my name in the shaving cream.

6. High fives

Remember when you'd be walking in line and the older students would walk by and just high five you?! Yeah that doesn't happen when you're 21...

7. Snack time

Hahahaha, who am I kidding? I still snack. I actually might snack more and that's a problem.

I'll work on it...

Probably not.

8. P.E.

I miss P.E. so much

I don't know why everyone hates P.E. or tries to avoid it! Maybe I only liked it because I'm so competitive it's actually disgusting. Kickball, tag, four square... you name it, I love it.

9. Movie time

We still have movie time in some classes but this was extra snack and nap time in kindergarten!

But, to be honest, the movies in college are a lot better.

10. Graduation

The greatest achievement of kindergarten was graduating. Kindergarten was amazing... I learned the correct way to say crayon (it's not crown), advanced ABC's, how to make friends, what a crush is (John Luke), and, most importantly, it planted a seed for the woman I was going to become.

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.
