Now that the final week of my first semester has FINALLY come to an end, it's time to recap the roller coaster of emotions I experienced in a matter of 7 days.

Sunday: Me when I realized that this was the last week of the semester and I had to finally do all the work I had been putting off

Life Lesson Learned: Don't Procrastinate

Monday: I sat a made a list of all of the things I needed to get done by the end of this week. After I had my list, I took out my books to study and...

Life Lesson: Preparing to do work is exhausting

Tuesday: Friend: "Hey, did you already finish that assignment due tonight?"

Haha... yeah... I finished that ages ago...

Life Lesson: ALWAYS CHECK THE SYLLABUS

Life Lesson: Stress eating is bad.

Wednesday: When I saw that my Spanish final was the same as the study guide I did at the last minute

Life Lesson: If your teacher gives you one, always do the study guide

Friends: "Do you wanna come hang out with us before everyone goes home for Winter break?"

Life Lesson: School work comes before friends, no matter how much you love them.

Thursday: When you get to leave campus and go home, but you still have a paper due

Life Lesson: Try to complete all of your work before you go home so you don't have to bring your work with you.

Friday: Family: "If you would have done your work when you were supposed to, you wouldn't have to do it over break."

Life Lesson: You don't think I know that? Just hug me, I'm struggling.

Saturday: When your least favorite professor sends out an email thanking the class for a great semester...

Life Lesson: BYE!

Sunday: When I have FINALLY completed all of my work for this semester

Life Lesson: Sleep all winter break because once you get back to school, you will be sleep deprived once again.

And that was my finals week.

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.

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.
