I don't even want to look at Instagram.

When the month of May hits, many college students are free for the summer. Beach trips are planned, sleep is caught up on, and laying out by the pool becomes an everyday expectation. However, if your school doesn't get out until mid-May, I feel your pain. Here are thirteen things that I relate to as I study for finals and watch everyone have the time of their lives.

1. You physically cannot take another bite of dining hall food.

2. You’re dripping in sweat on the way to class and then the air conditioning freezes it onto your body once you get there.

3. ...or the AC completely stops working in your hundred-year-old dorm building.

4. All of your friends from high school are at the beach, and it’s all over their Snapchat stories.

5. Your friends from home have started planning pool trips in the group message, but you’ll be sitting in class hours away.

6. You’re staying up until 3 a.m. studying for finals, while your friends at home are staying up until 3 a.m. watching Netflix.

7. Because of these late night study sessions, your sleep deprivation is at an all-time high.

8. You have a sudden urge to jump into the lake or fountain every time you pass it.

9. You are forced to sit in class and watch a beautiful day pass by.

10. Athletic shorts are considered your everyday wear.

11. You haven’t opened Instagram in weeks because you know it’s just photo after photo of your friends on summer vacation.

12. You try to calculate what your grades would be if you just drove home and missed your finals.

13. On the last day of classes, your brain starts playing “What Time is It?” from “High School Musical 2” on repeat.

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:

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.
