Congrats! You have survived another year of gross school lunches and 8 am’s. You are now living every day as if it were a Friday night and bar is having 5$ pitchers all night long. You’re probably thinking the opposite as your boss sends you your schedule, but everyone deserves time off including YOU. And because I know you’re tired of thinking, here’s a premade list of fun summer-musts that you cannot hide from!

Spontaneous beach trips

If you wake up and it’s sunny and 85 degrees, you’d be crazy not to take advantage of such amazing tanning weather! Shake and bake baby!

Catch up on your Netflix shows

School just doesn’t like our attention being diverted elsewhere. Now, we have to spend countless hours watching every “Orange Is The New Black” episode and reruns of “Friends”. Maybe that new murder mystery documentary, too?

Actually listen to that playlist you created over winter break

We both know it’s there. All your favorite beach boppin’ hits that you cannot wait to blast through your car speakers with the windows rolled down.

Book a plane ticket

Somewhere. Anywhere. Just get out of this small town!!!

Find true love on a dating apps

Bumble…Tinder…eHarmony…you never know.

Road trip

I suggest closing her eyes and blindly pointing somewhere on a map of the United States.

Go camping at a State park

A wise woman once told me that getting in touch with your nature side is very rewarding.

Have that ideal night

Whether it’s sharing a bottle of wine on the beach with your best friend or sleeping for 16 hours straight, you deserve the perfect night, single or not.

See your favorite band perform live

Nothing is stopping you from hopping in a car or on a train and seeing your favorite song performed live. The overwhelming sensation when the artist belts that high note.

Go skydiving

Cause why the hell not?

What else can you think of?

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.
