Freshman year of college is full of new things. New people, new classes, new places. It also means there's a whole world of movies shows for incoming freshman to see and relate to.

1. Grown-ish

While I refuse to call ABC Family by its ridiculous new name, Freeform (why?), the network is home to a slew of great shows, including Grown-ish. Starring Black-ish Yara Shahidi, this adorable comedy explores the joys and tragedies of being a college freshman.

2. Undeclared

Any fan of Freaks & Geeks should give Undeclared a try. Created by Judd Appatow. The series follows freshman Steven Karp (Jay Baruchel), hoping to find a fresh start in college. This gem of a tv show has many things in common with Freaks & Geeks, including the sad fact that both shows only lasted one season.

3. Felicity

One Tree Hill fans will love Felicity. This charming series, created by J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves, ran for four seasons on the WB. Watch four seasons of Felicity Porter's (Kerri Russell) bad haircuts, love triangles, and unrealistically large dorm rooms.

4. The Graduate

Enjoy your college years while you have them. This darkly funny film follows a recent college graduate embark upon the real world; and realize his best years may be behind him. Good luck seniors!

5. Mistress America

College isn't easy for everyone. This sweet, friendship-fueled, screwball comedy follows awkward, lonely Tracy (Lola Kirke), navigating her difficult freshman year of college. The film stars the marvelous Greta Gerwig, director and writer of Lady Bird. (If you haven't seen Lady Bird, please stop reading this article and start watching Lady Bird).

6. Everybody Wants Some

This low-key comedy, hails from the creators of Dazed and Confused. The film set in 1980, Texas, follows a freshman baseball player. It's perfect for anyone looking for a laid-back, laugh filled night.

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.
