It's finally April. The birds are chirping. Flowers are blooming. And all college students are just waiting for this semester to be over! April means finals and exhaustion for college students, but it also means May is right around the corner, and we are almost free! If you are a college student, you know there are infinite reason why we are ready for this semester to be over.

1. We will finally be able to sleep on a normal schedule again

At this point, I am no longer surprised when I end my day at 2am and wake up 8am. I miss full nights of sleep. Everyday it is getting harder to wake up, and micro sleeps during lecture just aren't cutting it anymore!

2. Our lives will no longer be dictated by what exam or assignment is due that week

Much like my sleeping schedule, much of what I do day to day is dictated by classes, exams, and assignments. Wake up, go to lecture. Wait - there's an exam next week? I guess i'm moving in to the library. I can't wait to actually be able to do what I WANT to do, and not what I probably should do if I want to graduate.

3. We will never have to deal with that on horrible professor again (hopefully)

Every semester there's just one class that you've wished was over since day one. Now, it will finally actually be over. You survived. Unless the universe really hates you (aka my life) and you end up having the same professor next semester.

4. Long days at the beach are right around the corner

The only better than not having to do anything is not having to do anything at the beach. Many have already gotten into the beach season. However, going to the beach without any worries of classes or assignments is the first sign that summer is finally here.

5. We will probably lose our minds if this semester lasts any longer

At this point, we are all at our limit. We have lost all motivation. If this semester lasted any longer than the first week of May, we would all probably explode. There's a reason the semester ends when it does, and I like to think it's to save my sanity...until next semester.

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.
