After four long, emotionally scaring years, the one that counts is finally upon you. SENIOR YEAR. Boy, you thought being a senior in high was school was exciting, but you were so wrong. Graduation is just around the corner and so is the real world. In one way you're insanely excited to take on the world, but on the other you don't want to have to actually adult. All these thoughts are spinning around in your mind. As if that's not enough, everyone you come in contact with has some of the worst possible questions about your next steps. Here are my personal favorite. And by favorite, I mean don't ever ask me these again, please.

1. When are you getting married?

True, this is technically the next step in the "American Dream", but can we put the brakes on for just a second? I just got done with an insanely difficult four years, can we celebrate this milestone first?

2. Are you going to miss it? College is the best time of your life, after all.

Wow, thanks Karen. I really appreciate the encouragement there. Sure, I'm going to miss the days that I spent as a college student, but they're over. It's time for my to take a crack at the real world and apply everything I've been learning these past four years.

3. Where are you moving to?

My guess is as good as yours. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of WHEREVER WILL HIRE ME. When preparing to exit college you get one main piece of advice from all your professors when it comes to job hunting: don't be picky. As a student fresh out of college without much experience, you don't get to make too many demands. You just apply to all the openings and hope for the best.

4. How much debt do you have?

I don't know, how much did you pay for all four of your divorces? That is not a question you ask any student. News flash: we're all in debt. And it's terrible. We worked our butts off and paid insane amounts of money for a degree that will hopefully (but may not) pay for itself in the end.

5. Are you going to grad school?

The only thing I'm thinking about right now is getting through this graduation. For some of us, we want to go straight on to grad school and get it all done at once, but for others it's one step at a time. And that's perfectly okay. For me, I've spent my entire life in school and I just want a break. Eventually, I want to go to grad school, but just not now. We all need a breather now and then.


With love,

All the College Seniors

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.
