Facebook has become a veritable content dump for DIY videos, like this one. As a college student, it can be hard to find recipes or projects that fit your schedule, or, if you are nihilistic, your extreme skepticism about the values of a fulfilling life. I've compiled this list of easy and realistic DIY projects that will please both the average college student, and the average nihilist.

1. Build a fort out of your old textbooks and refuse to leave.

This one is easy. Pick up all of those old books you have lying around, and instead of hawking them on your graduating class' Facebook group, do something useful with them, and build a literary igloo. If you are technically skilled (and a nihilist), try adding a handy self-destruct mechanism, so that when finals roll around, you can pull a string and have the whole thing collapse on top of you. Wow! How useful!

2. Wreath made of D-hall chicken legs.

It's festive, and if you have an unlimited meal plan, it's kind of free! For the nihilist crowd, the smell will serve as an ever-present reminder that everything, including the shelf life of old chicken, is temporary.

3. Make a pipe frame wall shelf out of metal scraps from your dorm's plumbing.

Wow, good thing you've found the utility closet in your freshman dorm! How else would you get the authentic look for your DIY shelves? Plus, these shelves will give you a convenient place to store all the extra to-go boxes full of old chicken meat from that last project of yours. Good news, nihilists: the risk of contracting tetanus will spice up your generally bleak outlook on life.

4. Disappear into the void.

This is the mother of all DIYs. Need I say more?

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.
