I'm rich! I'm rich! Well, for like eight days.

Pay Day Versus The Rest Of The Month

Pay day can be the best day, but the rest of the month can be a bit of a struggle. When you get paid, you're on top of the world and can do any buy anything. The only problem is, you buy everything and then you end up eating peanut butter sandwiches for the last two weeks of the month.

1. Going Out

Pay Day: We should do this every night. We're never going home.

The Rest of the Month: You guys go on without me, I'm going to sit at home drinking water.

2. Shopping

Pay Day: Oh my gosh, I can get all those things I've been wanting all month. Let's hit three malls and all the stores and the outlets.

The Rest of the Month: Window shopping is a lot less fun than it sounds.

3. Getting Gas

Pay Day: Full tank! I'm going to get all the gas.

The Rest of the Month: And $5.00 even. That should last me for the week, right?

4. Eating Out

Pay Day: Let's go somewhere with table clothes and candles and eat steak!

The Rest of the Month: They have a dollar menu right?

5. Groceries

Pay Day: I need fresh produce and organic, grass fed meat and name-brand cereal.

The Rest of the Month: Kraft is how much?! *Grabs Great Value mac-n-cheese*

6. Makeup

Pay Day: Sephora, Sephora, Sephora.

The Rest of the Month: Physician's Formula is pretty much the same thing.

7. Toilet Paper

Pay Day: *buys all the Charmin you can carry*

The Rest of the Month: *steals the one-ply toilet paper from the work bathroom*

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.
