12 Signs You Have PTS(B)
NY Daily News

Spring break really does live up to all its hype, especially at popular college destinations, such as Padre Island, Cancun, PCB, Vegas, and so many more. Because spring break is a week full of endless fun, questionable decisions, and lit snapchat stories with your favorite people by your side, there are obvious consequences. But, don't worry, you're not alone. There's a reason this celebration only occurs once a year- here are 17 signs you may be suffering from PTS(B): Post Traumatic Spring Break:

1. Every time you hear someone say "spring break" you die a little inside.

Take this as you may, whether you actually want to crawl in a hole, or your eyes widen from the taste those words trigger in your mouth.

2. When you see the 300 videos your friends saved on their phones of you dancing.

The worst part is, 150 videos make you think "I didn't know I could dance" and 150 videos make you think "I didn't know I couldn't dance." Talk about embarrassing.

3. Checking your wallet and realizing you spent more in a week than you did in your entire lifetime.

Or, remember that you completely lost your wallet and it is floating somewhere out in the ocean, buried in the sand, or sitting in someone else's pocket.

4. Looking back at all of your innovative ways and realizing that your life is so boring now and you might actually be a smuggling genius.

5. Not worrying about dying on the plane ride home because you feel like you've really lived the past week.

"I'm not afraid to die anymore, I feel like I've lived."

6. Not taking off your wristband, even though you've been back at school for a week.

7. You keep replaying "that one song."

Because every spring break has a theme song, am I right?

8. When you can't hear the phrase "I'm dead" without thinking about how you took these words to a whole other level after day five.

9. Sending your Instagram to TSM/TFM and actually making the page. . .

10. When this becomes your motto any time you think or talk about spring break . . .

11. When you've been home for two weeks, but everything still hurts.

12. When you catch yourself talking to your friends like. . .

Bottom line? Sure, there might be traumatic memories associated with last year's spring break, but one thing that's for sure? We goin' back this year.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
