College is a trying time. You're often tired, mostly a big pile of stress and always, always busy, but worry not because here are five things to help make your college survival a little simpler... or at least the walk to class.

1. A Watter Bottle

Long walks make for thirsty people, and let's be honest, you should be drinking more water anyways.

2. A Rain Jacket

When rain hits, it hits hard but your professor doesn't really care if you have to trek a mile in the rain from one end of campus to the other, you just better be on time. Sometimes it helps to get a rain jacket that's a bit too big for you so you can fit your backpack under it. I know, you'll look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but the $1000 MacBook won't get wet.

3. Sunglasses

It's bright out here, and honestly your eyes could use the break. Eyes are worked hard in your classes and online homework. Be kind to your windows to the world.

4. A Good Pair of Headphones

I know in the movies you see a group of friends walking to class together talking and laughing, but this is really pretty rare, and most of the time your friends are nowhere near you when you're walking to class, so invest in headphones you love, and make sure you pack them every day. It makes the long walks much more bearable.

5. Spiral Bound Notebooks

Multi-Subject spiral-bound notebooks are a lot lighter than binders and help cut down on weight in that backpack.

6. Ebooks

You almost always have to have a laptop for at least one of your classes, so why not buy Ebook versions of your textbooks instead of lugging heavy hard-cover books and adding to that shoulder stress?

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.

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.
