Arguably, students over the summer are split into three types of categories. The first is the envy of everyone. We all know those people. The ones who go on exotic vacations left and right, and seem to rub them in everyone else's faces. In fact, this type of person is by no means 'rare,' making the envy even worse.

Another type of student over the summer is the polar opposite, always complaining how bored they are and asking if anyone wants to hang out with them.

Then, there are people in the middle. Whether they are annoying for half the summer and envied the other is entirely up to them. For some people, it is very difficult to know if your social media is giving away how boring your summer is. So, I have devised a few tips to make sure you can avoid revealing how dull some of your summer days are if you're into that sort of thing.

First and foremost, stop posting that you're bored. This is obviously the most dead-giveaway that you are, indeed, bored. These type of posts are not always the straightforward "I'm bored" Snapchat story that absolutely no one wants to see, but also posts including asking if anyone wants to hang out. As previously stated, this is definitely something to avoid. Not only is it not an interesting post and gives away that you have no plans, but you are almost guaranteed to have no results. If you want to hang out with someone, try messaging people individually.

For a little-less obvious approach, your posts can "lie by implying." This simply means making a post that makes it seem like you're doing something more fun than you actually might be. Now, I am not suggesting actually lying. These type of posts can be similar to the "Hobby Lobby Challenge" and taking pictures by a creek or pond that appear more like a lake or beach.

Another important thing to remember is that if you are at home or at your job all the time, you might want to avoid posting there every day. After a very short time, it can be assumed exactly how you spent your summer. And even though this is true, most social media users would never like to admit that that is all they do.

But above all, it is important to actually enjoy your summer and not just make it so everyone else is envious of it.

Even though that is something many of us want deep down, it is not the most important. As long as you are enjoying your summer and making every moment count, your posts will hopefully be able to carry along that sunshine with you. And what better post can you get than that?

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.

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.
