Oh, baby... It's that time of year again.

Summer is winding down, and the fall semester is beginning to start.

And after three months of warmth, excitement, and adventure, adjusting to a life of textbooks and studying is a transition for college students everywhere.

The transition is so difficult due to one of the hardest steps of this challenging process - leaving your home friends.

And trust me, I know. You don't even want to think about doing that.

But to make this tough step just a little bit easier, there are three things that you should remember.

1. It's not a goodbye, it's a see you later.

Just how this summer flew by, Thanksgiving will be right around the corner.

2. Live your life.

The memories you make will soon turn into stories you'll be able to share the next time you see each other.

And lastly, we all know that college is a bubble. Once you are acclimated, it's easy to forget about the world outside of campus. But try your best to...

3. Make an effort to keep in touch.

A funny post that reminded you of your friend? Send it. An idea as to what you both should do the next time you see each other? Send it. A plan as to when you will visit them? Send it. Because whether there's a reason to talk or no reason at all, these quick, little ways of communicating can be a large reason as to what keeps you both connected and updated during these next few months.

Summer and college are two completely different experiences, and for four years we get to experience both. You have the best of both worlds with home friends around in the summer, and with college friends for four years right around the corner. Enjoy it.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
