To be honest everyone procrastinates at some point in life. Whether it be getting out of bed for work or school, doing homework , studying for a test or cleaning the house. It's not only students procrastinating. What do you do when you're procrastinating?

1. Scroll through Facebook and/or Instagram

Everyone tends to pick up their phone and jump on some social network site to see whats going on. Usually its nothing important, but we all got to check it out. Once you get on social media, you see some type of drama going on and you just have to know what has been going on; who got married, whose pregnant, who got drunk last night and made a fool of themselves.

2. Scroll through Pinterest looking for pins

Let's face it, we all love looking through pinterest looking for recipes or any other pins that interest us whether it be looking at baby shower ideas, wedding ideas, recipes to cook at home, etc.

3. Watch your favorite show on Netflix, Hulu or TV

While it may give you a break from life, its difficult to stop watching the TV because you always want to know whats going to happen next. We tend to binge watch a show until we either watch the entire series or season or until we get to a point where were not wondering whats going to happen next.

4. Take a nap

Everyone loves taking a nap. Especially after a long day of working or staying up all night studying for a test. We think were going to take a 30 minute nap that turns into sleeping for the rest of the evening and not getting anything else done.

5. Go shopping

Every female loves to go shopping. Even if its window shopping. Its a great way to get out of the house if you're trying to procrastinate. Even though procrastinating isn't always a good thing. We go to the store to take a break, then you run into friends and next thing you know you're doing other things with them knowing you have a report due or a test the next day.

6. Doing what you love to do (Hobby)

Whether it be knitting, hiking, shooting guns, cooking, we all have something we love to do. Whether it be outdoors or inside.

7. Play video games

Like television, this is probably more of a guys thing. While video games may get your mind off school work and give you a chance to relax, it gets hard to put it down. You keep getting to points where you wanna see what you can do next, or meet that next checkpoint and before you know it its late and you're stuck deciding whether you want to go to bed or stay up and finish that assignment.

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.

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.
