July... Potentially one of the best months of summer. It's smack dab in the middle so your summer festivities could be at an all time high OR I could be completely wrong and you did all things fun in the months and May and June so now you're just chillin' in July. Either way, Spongebob has a few things to say about July.

1. That Excruciating Heat

Do I need to explain further? As a Texas resident, I can honestly say the heat makes me feel like I'm either dead or very close to it. With the possibilities of the temperature reaching the triple digits, the only reason I'd ever step outside was to hit the pool. Other than that, catch me inside my air conditioned house watching Netflix. #NoShame

2. Freaking out because school is getting closer

College? No sleeping in? Are the realities that Summer is getting close to being over sinking in yet? People are either mad glad to go back and be free at college or mad sad because you have to assume all adultish responsibilities again. RIP. I am the latter type of person.

3. But actually being pretty bored at home

Your friends are all either working or on vacation but you just chillin'. Have you ever wondered how many different ways you can sit in a chair to watch T.V.? You can probably find the answer if you're not at home with 0 moves because of the high percentage chances of your friends working or vacationing.

4. Attempting to glow up before you go back to college

You need to be somewhat impressive when you go back, right? Those last minutes hair cuts and squats will make a difference, right? No one wants to go back lookin' all the same. Dress to impress and all that jazz. Anywho, we all try to make those small changes to our appearance in hopes of someone noticing how good you look now (or been looking good).

5. Seeing incoming freshmen be excited about college

Boi. You got a storm comin' for ya. Student debt, textbooks costing an arm and a leg, staying up til 6 a.m. studying when you have a 9 a.m. exam. Ah, the freshman are going to have so much fun! I mean, there are definitely those fun aspects of college like ~freedom~ and etc. but you have to start being independent and an adult now, and that kinda sucks.

6. Being too broke to do anything

That feel when you want to go do something fun and go adventuring but you have about $11 to your name. Why is life so expensive? Or when you even just wanna grab a bite to eat with your friends but you still broke so you end up just chillin' at the table. Relevance.

7. But You're enjoying every last moment of your summer

You are cherishing those last moments with your friends and family before you return to the ~stress~ that is college. Hang out with your hometown loved ones while you can; once college starts everyone will be too busy to even breathe. Get those movie marathons and late night food runs in while you can. It is only a matter of time before you return to cafeteria food and shared bathrooms!

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.
