10 Things I Hated Most About High School

High school did not prepare me for college at all.

I had my fun moments in high school, sure. I played sports, I had friends, I went to prom, but there were still things to this day that make me never want to relive high school. I'm not saying it was horrible, but high school most certainly was not the best time of my life. There were a few little things I liked about my school, but here are 10 things that I regularly had to deal with that I disliked even more:

1. Cliques

Everyone had their group of friends and didn't even bother talking to anyone else outside of their cliques. You couldn't even make new friends because you seen the same faces every day, and everybody already came to high school with their same friends from like freakin' kindergarten.

2. Group projects

I always got stuck being the group leader, and then when presenting, the people didn't even show up or bring their share of the project.

3. The teachers

Most of the teachers could not control their classroom and had no idea how to turn boring topics into interesting discussions. Their monotone voices made my best friend get drunk and set fires in class — true story.

4. Lunch

Smallest and hottest lunch room ever with kids running around and screaming. Oh yeah, and the dried pizza and infested fruit was my favorite part.

5. Student section at sports games

Nobody ever cheered. The students just stood there, and then when somebody actually screamed, everyone just stared at them like they were weird? Hello, do you know where you are standing?

6. When I missed a day

The teachers always gave me crap when I missed a day. If I ask for my missing assignment and I'm excused, they just stop right there with, "Well, you should have been here." My cat just died, leave me alone.

7. The courses...

Did not prepare me for college. That is all.

8. The Wi-Fi

This seems like a small issue, but it really was annoying. The Wi-Fi blocked all the sites and took two hours just to load a Google search — if it wasn't a blocked search that is.

9. Gym try-hards

Don't yell at me when I didn't catch the ball. I'm not hopping a fence and breaking an arm today to please you. What do you people think you're winning anyway, a trophy? An Olympian medal?

10. Substitutes

Please don't actually try to teach. News flash: You're in our classroom today. If you just sit there quietly at the desk, this hour will be peaceful for the both of us.

Just remember, it gets better. Also, I don't have to deal with half of these issues in college, which is heaven on Earth.

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.
