Whether you are single by choice; just got out of a relationship, tired of the hooking up game, and still feel unfilled; or just ready to move on, here is some advice from your very own Jesus-loving, sleep-deprived, Netflix addicts.

1. It's hard to tell whether some people want to be your friend or just have other intentions.

Unfortunately, it's just the way it is, so tread carefully.

2. If you're not hooking up or in a relationship, that's okay.

3. It's okay if you're not stressing about a relationship.

You're allowed to focus on school.

4. Stop and look, as difficult as it is.

However, the best things happen when you least expect it.

5. If you feel unfulfilled by a hook up but don't want a relationship, focus on you.

6. You're not a freak if you don't have "a ring by spring".

Everyone is different, and everyone is on a different path.

7. Stress more about crushing it in that really, really hard lab instead of stressing about that someone who broke your heart.

They aren't a major requirement like Bio is.

8. I know it's annoying hearing that this is the time to focus on yourself, but it is.

You have to be the right person to find the right person. There is someone out there who is perfect for you, but they might not be perfect for right now.

9. A string of hookups is okay, but if you want a relationship then chances are the game you're playing won't turn into what you might want.

10. Dating is NOT more important than your goals right now.

Do not let other people sway you.

11. Figure yourself out first.

Travel alone. Eat out by yourself. Explore beliefs. That stuff is important to do alone. Have your Eat, Pray, Love moments.

12. Never compromise for what you want to be, who you want to be, or whatever else you want.

13. It's okay to be impatient for a relationship or for your perfect first.

Keep waiting. Don't settle for less than you deserve.

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.
