Why Staying In Is Actually The Best Cure For A Hard Week

As midterm season creep on us, it brings long nights, countless cups of coffee, and endless weeks with it. When Friday finally rears its head, it seems like the only way to recover is to go out for a night you won't remember and, most likely, suffer the consequences the next day with a raging headache and regret for the previous night's actions. While these nights can be a blast, they are not the only way to let off steam after a stressful week! Personally, I feel like there is not a better cure in the world for a week straight out of academic hell than a night in with your girlfriend and favorite two guys (Ben and Jerry).

Nights in aren't just about binging food, but about rest and relaxation. Going out can be fun, but lets be honest, it is physically and mentally draining! From getting ready, picking out the perfect outfit, and tracking down an uber and avoiding a surcharge, you're drained! And for what? To feel like a sardine in a crowded frat party looking forward to when you can take off your cute (but somewhat uncomfortable) outfit and jump into bed with Netflix. Why not just cut out the middle step and switching out your black party pants for sweatpants?

Let's be honest:

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:

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.
