Sorry to break it to you but you are basically an adult now. Well kinda – just enough of an adult to not pretend like you are in Phineus and Ferb’s summer gang. As a real mini adult you need to be using the summer to your advantage and you have a couple of options of what to do.

1. MORE SCHOOL!

If you didn’t do so hot in a class – guess what?? You can take it again! Or you can always get ahead so you can move on to be a real adult. You don’t even have to take full load of classes but every little bit helps.

2. Work Work Work

How many jobs can you squeeze into one summer vacation? If you aren’t taking any classes then fill up your time with work and make some cash. If working during the semester messes with your grades too much, think ahead and stash enough money to get you through. If you are working, then you can’t spend any money.

3. Internship

If you are an upper classman you should be looking into this for sure. If you are looking to continue your education than you are going to want some professional development on your resume and this is the time to do it. Its like a mini job that may or may not be paid. Remember that it will pay off in the future.

4. A big kid job

Depending on your degree you might be able to get an entry level job in your field. Get in with a company and make friends for when you graduate.

Basically, summer is now changed forever and you need to embrace the change. Welcome adulthood my friends!

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.
