Moving In To College Housing Is Hard

It is that time of year again. The time of year when parents come in droves to move their precious child into their apartment, dorm, or house for the school year. This time of year can be a very emotional one for the parents and child as they say goodbye until they see one another again. This can also be an emotional time due to the lack of air conditioning in most older places in Ann Arbor. You may find yourself actually crying at night because you have never sweat so much in your entire life and you actually think that you bed is more like a kiddie pool of sweat and dismay than an actual bed. If you are one of those kids who have been blessed enough to be given housing in one of the air conditioned dorms, chilled apartments, or have an unreal self regulating temperate that causes you to never sweat, then good for you but I would like to tell you right now that I’m jealous and I hate you for it.

This past week I moved into my house that I’m living in this year. After carrying my excessive amount of clothes, shoes, and miscellaneous things that will probably fall under my bed and never be seen again, up to my room I can confidently say that I have never sweat so much in my entire life. During these excruciating two hours I had many thoughts, some of them included choice words that my mother would not be too pleased to hear me saying. But, some thoughts seem so relatable to most college aged students that I decided to share them now:

“I’m so hot.”

“I’ve never sweat this much in my life.”

“Can you pass out from sweating too much?”

“No boy will ever be attracted to me looking like this.”

“Do I have a sweating problem?”

“Does my body not regulate temperature?”

“This is the most exercise I’ve gotten in months.”

“My fitbit says I’ve gone 23 stairs, I feel like it should be more.”

“I haven’t even hit my step goal yet.”

“I’m so hot.”

“I wonder if I hide out in the car if my parents will just finish up for me.”

“Does Selena Gomez sweat like this?”

“I need to be more like Selena.”

“I just wanna look good for ya, good for ya.”

“This is horrible.”

“How are there still things in the car?”

“Should I cut my losses on those things?”

“We need an elevator.”

“I’m so hot.”

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.
