16 texts you send to your college friends as soon as you're over 'being home'

I've been home for the past 2 months and like every college student, I get bored of being home. Most of us are still in contact with friends from college and have their phone number. Here are some of the cliche and crazy text messages sent to college friends to get a conversation started because being at home is lonely sometimes.

1. "Hi insert some emoji here"

The most basic conversation starter, they will respond because they are missing you too!

2. To Roommate: "Can we get a hamster for our dorm?"

She said no because of housing rules and stuff.

3. "Hey (friend) can I send you my bikini pics because I'm bored and look really good right now :)"

Shout out to my friend Valerie McPherson for her contribution to the article, she said yes by the way.

4. Sends a random photo that reminds you of your friend

Photos, including memes are bound to get a conversation started. It may be tears, more memes, or a chat to follow after the photo. If you send an inappropriate photo, you may get blocked.

5. From Roommate:"This shower curtain is cute!"

She got it, but sometimes random things pop up and it starts the loveliest conversations.

6. "I miss you"

Depending on who sends it, it may be a lovely conversation or it can result in being called a creep, So choose wisely.

7. "I'm bored"

Blunt and filled with honesty, most of the time it will result in a reply that says "I'm bored too."

8. To a group chat "Should I get a piercing or a tattoo?"

My good friend and EIC Keribeth often asks this and we usually say both.

9. "send pic of legs Are my legs that hairy?"

It is something a girl would send to a girl, but yeah sometimes it would just a bit off of a normal conversation.

10. "Do you know your schedule for the upcoming semester?"

School is the last thing on everyone's mind, but that subject has to be talked about somehow. Plus when y'all are bored that is a long-distance bonding activity to do!

11. "Should I dye my hair?"

Depending on the color the answer will range from NO!! to girl about time you did the color!

12. To a Roommate: "Hey I think I found the comb you were looking for."

This one is more common than you think, when it comes to moving out, you pack everything as fast as you can then leave. The roommate is either cool with or demands it back.

14. "Can you teleport to my house?"

The answer is always "I wish."

14. To Roommate: "Hey I got this planner, wanna start planning things for school?"

This one sounds weird, but she actually got a planner too!

15. Sends pic of an outfit "Does this look cute on me?"

Most of the time it is a yes unless the outfit is totally ugly and wrong for your body type.

16. "I saw a cute guy/girl"

The most obvious answer is "Do you have a pic of him/her?" This one is a very common one and I think I sent one to my roommate in college once.

Some are a little weirder than others, but you have to admit we at least sent or seen these texts at least once. I want to make a part two of this in the future so DM your crazy texts on Instagram @Mikaylaross__ (2 underscores).

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
