The spring slump is real.

I saw a tweet earlier that senioritis has nothing on the spring semester of college. Is that not the truth! All motivation seems gone after spring break, but your grades are begging you not to give up. So how does one survive the never-ending spring slump, from never knowing what to wear, never wanting to go to class, and only thinking about summer it seems impossible to survive.

Well, here is a list of helpful tips to help you survive.

1. Don't Start a New Netflix Show

I just did, ("Gilmore Girl" fans?!) and now I hate myself because I frequently worry about if Lorelai and Luke will end up together, more than I think about my pressing Calculus homework.

2. Create a Countdown

Knowing I only have to use the community bathrooms for 35 more days is the best thing I've ever heard.

3. To-Do Lists

Hold yourself accountable!!!

4. Extra Coffee

Need I say more???

5. Plan something fun to do after finals

@Vance Joy Concert, I'm coming for ya! I wanna get all this work done so I can enjoy that!!!

6. Enjoy time with your sweet school friends

Being separated for three months is going to be so sad! Roadtrip?

7. Look up summer jobs!

Luke's Diner, anyone??? Better get prepared to make bands this summer!

8. Remember your GPA needs you

I'm the last person that cares about school, but I also don't want to fail.

9. Envision hanging out with your dogs!!

You can't hang out with them if you have to retake a class in the summer.

10. Plan out your next fall semester

You can't get there unless you pass your spring semester!

11. Think about your summer wardrobe!!!

This is just a personal preference but you could treat yo self to a shopping spree.

So these might not be the most efficient things to make sure you are actually doing homework, but they are all pretty motivating! So keep grindin'! You got it, you are in the homestretch and I believe in you! Summer, here ya come!

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.
