Spring Break - The Ultimate College Checklist

T- 2 weeks until spring break, are you ready? Mentally yes, but physically no. The same amount of midterm preparation goes for spring break.

You probably have about three tests, 15 projects and an interview for your summer internship before you can truly start thinking about Spring Break.

Most people have already booked their round-trip tickets to Cabo and their bank accounts are dwindling as they order the latest $100 Frankie’s Bikinis.

The only thing missing that can’t be packed in my suitcase are those washboard Instagram abs I promised myself I would have this break. The pressures of spring semester are real, when spring break is just a preview of your summer bod.

Waking up at 8 a.m. for the third day of full legs at kickboxing will be worth it. Pass on the chocolate covered strawberries and feel proud you resisted the urge for today. Just under 3 weeks to go.

Next on the checklist is booking the pre-spring break spray tan- so either way, you have some contrast from the sand. After all, what is spring break without those hot beach pictures?

Most girls are already sharing secrets of gluten-free diets or trying the latest tea trend. The hardest part is giving up Thursday pasta nights and trying not to drink your weight every weekend leading up to break.

We are going to be so proud once we get through the stresses of school and can finally relax and live it up whatever you choose to do during the break.

Picture yourself sipping on a pina colada at Mango Deck making memories with all of your close friends and being far away from your weekly psychology papers.

Just remember, most of the state of Arizona will be in Mexico...so bring your A game. Time to get fit, tan and fun.

At the end of the day our parents aren’t too thrilled about us heading to Mexico but that week might be a week of questionable decisions. Make sure to stay hydrated, rally/nap when needed and have a Spring Break to remember.

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.

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.
