After close to a month of holiday celebrations, downtime, and family bonding, a new semester is both a reluctant and welcome fresh start. What better way to describe the transition from a winter break spent in your childhood home to a move back to your college town than with the greatest 90s babies to grace television?

1. When all of the holiday hype is over and the decorations are taken down

2. Meanwhile, your bank account is still recovering from Christmas shopping

3. You finally realize that you registered for an 8 am course

4. What it feels like to pay Spring tuition

5. When that financial aid refund hits your bank account

6. Then you pay for rent plus additional expenses and realize you're still broke

7. You start getting excited about seeing your college friends again

8. Then you realize you'll have to get along without you mom's home cooking

9. You attempt to pack your entire bedroom into a suitcase

10. You have to say goodbye to your pet soon...

11. And the younger siblings don't understand why you have to leave

12. Then the syllabi notifications start popping up

13. And you have a pre-semester anxiety breakdown in front of the family

14. You promise yourself that your study habits are going to be different this semester

15. And that you will be dressing up for class every day

16. But most importantly, that you will be spending more time with your ride or die(s)

Here's to a great Spring semester!

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.

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.
