The Home-Stretch: As Told By "Friends"
YackYack

Welcome back from Easter Break, Warriors! I'm not sure how many schools get sort of two Spring breaks, but boy did the Easter break about a month after Spring break mess me up. We have now reached the home stretch in the Spring semester, the one thing between us and Summer. Darty SZN is upon us as of last week, with temperatures reaching about 85 degrees and all of this dreaded snow melted.

Now that we have started the final countdown to Summer, I'm sure we can all relate to our "Friends" (See what I did there?)

First off, you forgot about that assignment that had to be done over break...

I mean, c'mon. Did you really expect us to do all this work while we were getting trash- I mean, hanging out with family?

Realizing how much you let your grades drop

Wasn't that a "B+" two weeks ago...?

Then trying to bring them up like...

Just give me another week... or three... Any extra credit? Can't you just drop my lowest grade, or five?

The decision to day drink or do homework.


Homework is for now but blackouts are for... the night.

You don't even know how many classes you've missed due to darty-ing

Does my professor even know what I look like?

Sparky's, the Den, or Dominos?


Hmmm... How long can I make this pizza last before it goes stale?

Not caring about how you dress anymore

But then again, did we ever really care??

You don't even know what you're talking about anymore in your papers

Please just think it's a state of total awareness in which I can prepare myself for any danger that comes my way and not a Japanese dish...

You're not sure what day it is anymore


But I thought our meeting was Thursday? Oh... It is Thursday, isn't it...

When you realize how much you have to do between now and the end of the semester and it just stresses you out to a point

Unless you want to do this work for me, gtfo.

You begin to feel as if everything is just going to complete sh*t

YEAH BUT DOES PROFESSOR SO-AND-SO KNOW THAT YOU TOTALLY COPY AND PASTED THAT WITHOUT CITING IT???????

But you know your friends will be there make everything better!

They'll always be there for you, because you're there for them too.

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.
