Being a second-semester high school senior brings all sorts of emotions to the table: anxiety, excitement, happiness and sadness. You're halfway through the last year with your best friends, but also thaaaaaat much closer to being in college and starting anew. It's a weird time period, but at least we're all going through the transition together.

1. The day second semester starts.


And you realize there's only a few, short months left until graduation.

2. When you check your grades and notice how badly you caught senioritis.

I told myself I wouldn't catch senioritis, but right now, maintaining a C average has never felt more impossible.

3. That moment when your teacher assigns you a research paper.

Really?! I'm in college already!! I'm going to have seven of those next year, I don't need to do one NOW!

4. Every time you have an important assignment that you really don't want to do.

The daily internal debate: to do the assignment, or to get coffee and doughnuts with the friends you won't have in a few months?!

5. The feels you get the day after you get into college.

I've been sitting in this same classroom for 4 whole years; let's do something fun!

6. As your friends receive their move-in dates.

Joke's over guys, you can't leave me.

7. When you're forced to study so you don't fail your class.

Gotta build good study habits for college, right?

8. Feeling like you aced your last finals of high school.

NAILED IT. A+. I'M A FANTASTIC STUDENT.

9. When current college freshman warn you of the Freshman Fifteen.

The people that tell you to avoid fast food and pizza in college are the kind of people you cannot trust.

10. Realizing that you're going to have to say goodbye to your longtime best friends.

Also realizing you're going to be in a brand new place and you have to make all new friends...

11. Knowing you're about to start some of the best years of your life.

College will be amazing. I can just feel it.

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.
