As the new school year begins, everyone is excited to be back with all their friends and especially their roommates. Living with your best friends is exciting and you have so much you want to do, so I am creating a roomie bucket list, not just for roommates, but also for friends. I know my BFF and I planned to do so many things, but either forgot or never got around to it. Hopefully, by writing this list we will do it and you can do it as well. Let's begin the roomie bucket list:

1. Get on a first name basis with their family.

I mean you are basically family, you might as well become a part of theirs.

2. Celebrate birthdays in a BIG way.

3. Stay in and have a Disney movie night.

4. Go to a midnight premiere of a movie.

Any movie, any time (well midnight), anywhere

5. Cook something new together.

Tiramisu, anyone?

6. ROAD TRIP!

7. Go apple/pumpkin picking in the fall.

MC this one is for you!

8. Make snow-cream in the winter.

Especially for the ones who have never had it

9. Start a TV show from the beginning and watch all of it together.

I suggest One Tree Hill

10. Do something you always wanted to do, but never have done.

This could be ANYTHING!

11. Visit a random museum.

12. Explore the farmer's market.

13.Have a middle school sleepover-complete with mani/pedis and a pillow fight.

14. Go to a sporting event.

Go pack!

15. Travel to a sporting event.

Hopefully your team makes it far enough to go to a championship

16. Visit each other's hometown.

You know you want to see where they grew up.

17. Attend a concert.

18. Spend a day at the beach.

19. Make a craft for your place together.

20. Decorate for EVERY holiday-even Presidents Day.

21. Zip line through a forest.

22. Jump off of a waterfall.

23. Karaoke night!

24. Shopping spree.

Even if it is just a trip to Wal-Mart.

25. Volunteer together somewhere.

26. Participate in your own version of cupcake wars.

Nothing like some roomie competition

27. Do each other's favorite activity.

28. Run a marathon (or walk it).

Walking for those who refuse to run

29. Go camping.

30. Roomie game night.

A must!

31. Visit an amusement park.

Preferably Disney World

32. Go on a double date...

or triple or quadruple.

33. Learn a new trade.

Pottery, knitting, archery, you name it!

34. Picnic in the park.

35. Enjoy every minute together!

Who knows how long you will be living together?

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

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.
