When spring break rolls in, you know the semester is going by fast. Just six weeks ago, you were still home for winter break, and six weeks after you get back, you'll be going back home for the summer. This week off is much needed at the halfway point of the semester. Spring break is a time to take a break from all of your classes and exams, even if you're not going anywhere.

In the weeks leading up to spring break, the anticipation is rising. All you're thinking about is showering with no flip flops on, mom's home-cooked meals and seeing your friends and family. You get home and have absolutely no motivation to do anything except to binge-watch Netflix.

As the week continues, you hate to admit it, but you're actually getting a little bored with doing nothing. The show you picked to binge-watch didn't have enough seasons, and none of your friends have the same break as you. You start getting ready to pack all your things up for school because suddenly, even though you couldn't wait to get home, you need to get back to school. You need to see your friends, and are maybe even wanting to go back to class. Here are the phases of spring break as told by "Grey's Anatomy":

1. Seeing your family and friends.

Easily the best part of break. You haven't seen them in so long, but that makes your reunion so much sweeter.

2. Eating a home-cooked meal for the first time in almost two months.

There are certain foods you just can't force yourself to eat in the dining hall because it won't taste anything like your mom's. The first time you eat a home-cooked meal in so long does not compare to anything else.

3. How it feels to shower with no flip flops.

Freedom... and there's actually hot water and water pressure.

4. Day one of doing absolutely nothing.

I could be perfectly content doing this for the rest of my life.

5. When your parents ask you to actually do something for the first time all week..

How do they expect me to listen when they can't ask me to do anything when I'm away at school?!

5. Day five of doing absolutely nothing.

Who am I kidding? I actually got really bored.

6. Packing to go back to school.

Counting down the minutes to go...

7. Being reunited with your friends.

We've been apart from each other for too long, no more of this.

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.
