From late night binge-eating to 8 a.m. classes and everything in between, college is like a rollercoaster that seemingly never ends. Sometimes, you just wanna jump off, and other times, you find yourself screaming along with the ride. As the fall semester nears its' end, it might be time to reminisce on some key moments that accurately portray the experience so far.

1. The confusion (and sadness) you feel when you have to leave your friends, family, and home.

And you're not sure if you will survive without your bed and a fully stocked kitchen.

2. When you want to make new friends.

But fail miserably.

3. Syllabus week, when there's no real classes and no responsibilities.

Is this what college is like all the time?!

4. When you see something for the first time that you wish you could un-see.

It's a learning experience.

5. When you try to help your friend at 3 a.m.

But this is the only thing you can come up with.

6. When you try to help your friend at 11 a.m.

Honesty is the best policy.

7. When your professor tells you that you have an exam tomorrow.

*Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside*

8. When your friend asks you for help with an assignment.

Sorry honey, I've got my own problems.

9. When you've adopted a new motto.

Something to live by for the next four years.

10. When your home friends ask you "how's college?"

And you actually mean it.

11. When you're waiting for your late night pizza.

These are some of the happiest moments.

12. When you've had enough of sharing a small box with another human being.

Because it's bound to happen at some point.

13. When this becomes the theme song of your life.

Just accept it and move on.

14. When you start to question your decisions.


They might be a little weird or crazy, but you would not survive without them.

15. When the semester is ending and you look back at all the memories you've made.

Good or bad, you'll remember it all.

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.
