After a solid month of sleeping all day, relaxing with family, and seeing hometown friends, the time inevitably comes: The time to go back to school. Good thing you spent your break organizing your school papers, buying supplies, and studying for grad school, right?

1. When you think this semester is going to be the semester you finally get your life together.

You've been telling yourself that since 4th grade, but the time is now!

2. But then you crash and burn 27 minutes into your first class.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

3. When professors tell you going to class is required during syllabus week.

But then they give your spot away to another student. I guess it really is required.

4. Desperately searching around your lecture hall for a familiar face.

Nope. Nope. Definitely not.

5. When you finally decide to take that Zumba class you've been dying to try.

You quickly realize you should've stuck with yoga.

6. When the professor says there's no way they'll bump up your grade at the end of the semester if you don't do the work, but they haven't seen your charm yet.

Not to mention your overly convincing email writing skills.

7. When you finally get to see all your friends again.

It's only been a month, but it felt like 30 years.

8. When you see a cute boy in class.

So you spend the entire period making googly eyes at him from across the room.

9. When you shift from sleeping 17 hours a day to two.

Oh, the things you took for granted.

10. When someone tries to convince you to join a new student group, but you quickly remember you could just binge watch Netflix in bed instead.

Eeny, Meenie, Minney, Netflix. Definitely Netflix.

11. When you make it through half of the day, but realize you still have 750 more hours of stuff to do that night.

It's okay. We all need four months of adjustment to get back into the swing of things.

12. When the TA yells at you because you're taking Buzzfeed quizzes on your phone instead of the pop quiz on your desk.

What's more important in the long run, memorizing amino acids or finding out which Poptart flavor I am?

13. When you finally make it through the first week.

But there are only 10 minutes left of happy hour.

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.
