Stages of Freaking Out When Spotting a Celebrity

I saw Dylan Spouse and nearly passed out.

It’s a dream of most to meet a celebrity and to eventually fall in love and live with them for eternity, or at least that is the goal after first initially trying to meet them. But we sometimes forget the nerves and the real life situations of running into a famous person. I have not seen too many famous people in my life, but I was blessed enough to walk past my childhood crush, Dylan Sprouse from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody yesterday and my heart almost stopped.

I had never really thought about what I would do in the presence of someone that is famous and who at one point played on my television for hours at a time each and every day. And now this dude is older and is within feet of me. So, from someone who has experience in the seeing celebrities arena from this one encounter, I will go over the stages of internal grief that happens when confronted with a famous person.

1. Holy crap, is that really them?

2. No way!

3. My heart just fell through my stomach and into my butt.

4. Should I say hey?

5. Should I ask them to stop and take a selfie with me?

6. Or should I just walk by them like I don’t even recognize them?

7. What if I try to speak and I start crying a little bit?

8. I don’t care, they’re famous, its their job to say hey back to regular people.

9. Well, they’re gone now.

This was almost an exact replica of the conversation I was having with myself when being confronted with Dylan Sprouse. Being me, I was too nervous to actually speak to him, but I did say his name out loud for no reason and he heard it and looked at me, but we both continued to walk in separate directions. Now I will wait until I cross paths with Zac Efron or Lena Dunham and see what kind of chaos goes on then.

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.
