Sometimes there's no way to get anywhere but to take the train. Other times it's the normal way to get to your job day to day. Either way, there are some questions you always have on the subway.

1. Am I getting pickpocketed?

I'm pretty sure I'm not but that's when they /get/ you.

2. Is this the right train?

Usually it is. But occasionally you make a few small mistakes.

3. Should I give my seat up?

That kid seems to be really happy standing. His mom, maybe not enjoying it as much.

4. How old does an old person have to be to be not be offended by me offering my seat?

I'm not trying to be rude and I'd also love to keep my seat.

5. Will the person sleeping know when it's their stop?

If not, they'll take the long way home because no one is going to wake them.

6. Does the person next to me know I'm reading their paper over their shoulder?

Turn the page already!

7. I can fit in that car, right?

Always room for one more.

8. If I type in my notes I won't look approachable right?

When you forget your book and there's no service but you don't want anyone to talk to you, typing in your notes is always the solution.

9. Am I ever going to get off?

Sometimes, especially if someone is being loud or smelly, the train ride to work feels like an eternity.

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.
