The College Party, As Told By Stock Photos

Nothing explains a standard college party better than stock photos with absolutely no context. Where do they come from? Why are they here?

Your guess is as good as mine.

The most important thing is that they exist, and here, they serve a divine purpose: to explain the bizarre, (and usually shameful,) antics of the average college weekend get-together.

When you're rolling into the party ready to show off your sick game

When you're prepped and ready to look for your soulmate at this shindig

When a guy comes up to you and tries to talk to you and you know the conversation will be going nowhere but you still want to be nice about it

When you get a text from your mom asking how the studying and abstinence is going
When you're rocking out to those sweet, tasty jams

When your crush at the party makes a move, putting their best foot forward

When you and the squad begin to full-on rage

When the completely 100% legal substances in which you consumed responsibly start to kick in

When you're so far gone that even the harshest aspects of reality can't reach you

When you've partied a little too hard but still try to act natural

When the entire party is just falling apart around you but you're still trying to keep your cool

When you've realized you've had enough so you try to call an Uber and wonder why your phone's not working

When you leave the party that night with the gross food that no one ate

When you and the squad try to write about the party on Facebook the next morning but remember nothing about it

When you realize that you have two projects, four essays and the annotations of a quarter of the textbook due on Monday when you spent all weekend at that sick party

I'm...I'm so tired. I just need rest. I do.

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.
