Why Landlords Should Rent To College Students

This summer has been one of the craziest ones for me. I have been in-between houses the whole time and just when I thought I would have a place, something goes wrong. I don't know if this is a blessing in disguise, but one thing I am certain of is that I'm tired of people not renting out to college students without at least meeting them first. Here is a list of reasons why landlords should rent out to college students.

1. We actually are responsible.

We're in college. We've made it this far and this isn't my first apartment, so what is the problem? Most of us will literally only be there to sleep.

2. We have other things to worry about.

Making me stress about where I am living is taking away from me focusing on my studies.

3. Most of us have jobs.

I feel like in this day and age, most college students have jobs because they have to pay for themselves and don't have a choice. So, we do have money and when we don't have money, it's probably because we spent it all on rent.

4. Our parents are still in the picture.

Just because we don't live at home, doesn't mean our parents aren't in the picture. I can assure you that 90 percent of college students can get their parents to sign a guarantee, so please rent to us.

5. We are one of your biggest markets.

College students are always in need of a place to live and we will literally live anywhere because we are that desperate. Run down house filled with spiders for $400 a month? Sold.

So, please kind landlords of the world, rent to us college students. We need your help and you need our business! There's nothing better than that.

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.
