Did someone say summer road trip? There is no better way to spend time with the people you absolutely adore than driving with them for hours on end. Whether you are road-tripping for only a few hours or a few days, nothing beats an adventure with memories that will last a lifetime. There are some necessities that you would absolutely need to get you through the car ride.

1. Food

Food! Preferably, junk food. Potato chips, Oreos, candy, the whole nine yards. You don't want to keep stopping for a little bite to eat, so pack the goods. Keep your energy up.

2. A rocking playlist

Car jams are the best jams. A great playlist to rock along to while you make your way to your destination is an absolute must. Sing along to your favorite songs, sing along to your least favorite songs. Car singing doesn't have to be good. You aren't trying out for American Idol.

3. Neck pillow

Stiff neck? No thanks. Nap comfortably, my friends.

4. Reliable car

Preferably a car that is good on gas mileage and is, as I'd like to say, healthy. We wanna get from point A to point B safely.

5. Beverages

Stay hydrated. But be wary of the multiple bathroom stops you will have to make along the way. Plan accordingly.

6. Camera

Capture these moments. You'll want to look back on these days when you are older. Also, you can never have too many pictures!

7. Great company

It's the people that make the experience. Friends can make what could be the worst experiences some of the greatest memories. Friends make every adventure a grand one and they make every memory a memorable one.

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.
