We all have to do it some time. Let's admit it, most of us can't be the clean, "I put away everything as soon as I use it" type of person. It has to get messy before you can clean it. Sometimes real messy.

1. The initial excited motivation.

There's something about starting a project, even if it's just cleaning your room, that feels so exhilarating. Just think about how nice and clean everything will be. Instead of clothes, there will be floor!

2. Turning your music all the way up


3. Getting more garbage bags after realizing all the crap you have

One ain't gonna cut it. Good thing I thought of looking under my bed. How did any of this even get down here?!

4. Finding something that brings back the nostalgia

Great, you found your old Tamagotchi! It still works?? I guess it's time to sit down and play it, for old time's sake. There's nothing wrong with taking a break.

5. Now you're just laying on the floor staring at the ceiling for some reason

The break has turned into existential, deep thinking time. Do not disturb me.

6. You fell asleep on the floor

What year is it??? Where am I???

7. Your room is even more of a mess than before

You have successfully ripped your room to shreds, everything is everywhere. It's gotta get worse before it gets better, right?

8. Try again tomorrow, sleep amongst the garbage

It's probably 1 in the morning, and the floor is so comfortable. Goodnight!

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
