Sring Break finally approaches us!! Time to unwind, relax, and sleep! Whether you’re going away on a trip with pals or just relaxing at home and watching movies, here’s a to-do list during you’re much needed school-free week.

1. Just do that project already!

Yes, you know. The one you’ve been pushing off since your professor handed you their syllabus. Papers and projects usually aren’t much fun, but just dedicate one day to finishing it! It’ll be one less thing to do when you go back! Trust me, you’ll thank yourself for it later.

2. Girls’ Night!

No more excuses! Get the squad together for dinner, a night out, or even just a night in. You all could use some time to catch up and remind yourselves why you're all best friends! Fun nights with your friends are always good for improving your mood and laughter is the best medicine!

3. Get out of the house!

Whether you’re going on a trip to Miami or just a day trip of shopping and checking out a new local attraction, do something! You’ll feel much more accomplished just by being able to try something new and climb out of your rut. Plus you're on vacation! Vacations are for smiles and good memories!

4. Clean, please

I know it's not just me. It’s that point in the semester. Your room is a mess. Please at least clean enough so your floor is visible and it doesn’t look like a small tornado whirled through your room. We’re past the point where Christmas lights will improve your room’s atmosphere. A clean room is always more fun to hang out in and your friends won't have to worry about breaking an ankle when they try to maneuver their way to your bed!

5. Treat Yourself!

Either splurge on a new outfit, do something with your hair, or just play around with some new products. Now’s the perfect time to up your look and be confident about it. Another dose of self-esteem never hurts! You should have fun spending money on yourself.

6. Rest and Relax

Sleep in. Take a bubble bath. Do a facial. Snuggle up on the sofa and just enjoy not having a class to run to or homework to do later. Your body needs plenty of rest for you to be healthy and live a life with the best quality you can achieve. Plus it's so relaxing!!

Please have a fun, safe, and memorable break! You deserve it!

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.
