18 Things To Do When You Should Be Studying But You Can't
Katie Barrett

April is a very tough month for college students. It is the last chance to bring up the grades that have been ruined throughout the past three months. Unfortunately, it is also a period of zero motivation to accomplish such a feat. My friends and I have become experts in procrastination activities to ensure that our time is used as (un)wisely as possible:

  1. Watch all 10 seasons of Friends on Netflix series in one sitting
  2. Go out to eat your third lunch of the day with your besties
  3. Scroll through Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat Stories, LinkedIn, Bumble – literally all forms of social media - to get caught up
  4. Pick out your outfits for the next three weekends
  5. Color code your planner to feel productive
  6. Discuss all of the restaurants you want to try out
  7. Fill your online shopping carts to the brim
  8. Plan out a summer vacation (including all meals, modes of transportation, gas stations, hotels, etc.)
  9. Cry
  10. Convince yourself that you have all the time in the world to finish your assignments
  11. Watch YouTube videos on life hacks that you will basically never execute
  12. Spend thirty minutes prepping for the Real Housewives premiere
  13. Spend an hour watching the Real Housewives premiere
  14. Spend another hour talking to your roommates about how luxurious their lifestyle would be
  15. Convince your friend who clearly is drowning in homework that she, also, has all the time in the world to finish her assignments
  16. After convincing this friend, take her on a long walk to get acai bowls
  17. Realize how beneficial it would be to get a good night’s sleep so that you can be productive the next day
  18. Wake up and repeat

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:

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.
