Spring Break 2k18! Finally, no school work. I can relax and catch up on sleep and see my family! It all sounds amazing until you are back in your rinky-dink hometown and remember that there is absolutely nothing to do.

1. Where'd all the traffic go?

On the way home from school, the traffic slowly dwindled and I could breathe again. No traffic, no problem.

2. Mom, can we go to the one local restaurant that is a staple?

Yep, anyone from a small town can relate to this one. Once I eat there (which is usually within the first few days), there's no other food establishment to go to that I couldn't get at school.

3. Are any of my high school friends home from school, too?

Well, let me hit up the approximately 4 friends I still keep in touch with to see if they're home, too. We can commiserate together.

4. I've been taking *insert college town* for granted

I never realized just how much Charlottesville offered until this spring break, it seems. Even without a car, I can do more within walking distance there than I could within the whole perimeters of my hometown.

5. Why in the world did I get rid of my Netflix?

This one is a little specific to me, as I just got rid of my Netflix account a couple of months ago. There have been multiple times whilst at home that I've come dangerously close to reactivating it. And if you do have Netflix, HBO, Hulu, etc., I'm sure it's been your best friend this week.

6. I'm going to drive to... nowhere

I've gotten so bored over break that I've literally hopped in my car to drive nowhere. Driving aimlessly is more fun than just sitting around staring at walls... at least you can blast music in your car.

7. I can't believe I survived 18 years here

I never realized how small my hometown really was until I went to college. But now that I do, I don't know how I survived. With one small movie theater and one bowling alley summing up the "entertainment," I laugh at what my teenage-self had to settle for. Each place here has a memory, for better or for worse.

8. It's only Wednesday?

Only half of Spring Break is over? How in the world am I going to last another 4 days? Please take me back to Charlottesville ASAP.

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.
