College as a whole goes by in the blink of an eye, but especially your senior year. It's the last few months of living in your perfect, responsibility free bubble where you get to sleep until 11 and go out every night.

Then spring semester rolls around and it hits you that you have to actually be a self-sufficient adult in 4 months and you get struck by the Senior Scaries. The combination of all of these confusing feelings leads to a very distinct set of stages that almost everyone who is a senior can understand.

1. Using YOLO and SYFI as an excuse to go insane.


2. Wearing your pajamas to class and not giving a single care about it.

3. Avoiding the question “What are your plans after graduation?”

4. Realizing how few skills you actually have while filling out job applications.

5. Avoiding checking your bank account because more likely than not it’s in the negatives.

6. Seeing freshmen on campus and refusing to believe you ever looked that small and innocent.

7. Going out literally every night of the week instead of studying.

8. When Senioritis is too real and you no longer have any motivation to leave bed ever.

9. Having panic attacks over the thought of entering the real world and having to be an adult.

10. Crying because you never want to leave college, your friends, or your school. I love you FSU.

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.
