I just really wanted to say "as told by 'As Told by Ginger.'"

My freshman year of college has been interesting, to say the least (I've been advised to not call it a sh*tshow, but that's pretty much what it was). My first year of college was my first time away from home, as is the case for many people, so I experienced a lot of things for the first time. So, what better way to describe one of the best, most insane years of my life than with a stream of GIFs from the sassiest show of the 2000s.

When you decided to start the year off strong and confident.

When you made your first college friend.

When you went to your first party and everyone was drinking but you.

When you made it through the first week.

When you first realized drama didn't actually stop in high school.

When you tried to make yourself look presentable for rush week.

When you had to clean EVERYTHING for the first time. Without help from your mom.

When you got your first college crush.

When you first realized college is more stressful that you could've imagined.

When you had to go back home for a few weekends because it all became too much and you realized how hard it was to not live with your family anymore.

When you got your first bad grade.

When you went on your first spring break trip and immediately regretted all of your decisions.

When you went to your first sorority formal and the whole squad was on point.

When it was the end of the second semester and exams were around the corner and you finally decided that you didn't need to do your hair and makeup every day.

When you realized you had two final exams to study for, three final papers, a final project, and a ridiculously large amount of late work to turn in the last week of school.

When you finally had to accept that you're an adult now. You're living in the real world and it's so hard to get by.

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.

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.
