Things To Do When You're Bored And Can't Sleep (Like Me)
Clipart Kid

Today I woke up relatively early, had class, had lunch, and you probably don't care about all the other things I did because you most likely did them too. That's exciting, good job! So now it's 11:33PM on a Monday night and I'm sitting here with a calculus test and paper due tomorrow and I'm trying to "have a night." Aka, I have so much energy that I could literally be up for four more hours trying to expend said energy in fun ways before going to bed rather than studying for that test looming over my head. Here is a list of things to do when you're bored and can't sleep, like me.

1. Have a water balloon fight.

2. Stalk people on Instagram.

3. Put an Oreo on your eye and try to get it into your mouth without your hands.

4. Change the world.

5. Become President.

6. Do Buzzfeed quizzes.

7. Do something crazy!!!

8. Try to give some of your energy to other people who could use some.

9. Play Mario Cart balloon battle.

10. Send your friends weird memes.

11. Download the "Gif Keyboard."

12. Make a fort.

13. Dress up your dog.

14. See how many cartwheels you can do in one minute.

15. Find Narnia.

16. Figure out how to spell "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." (sorry, beat ya to it)

17. Look up "Tasty" videos, try to make them, and fail.

18. Watch cookie decorating videos on Instagram.

19. Run to get a "Cookout" milkshake and Uber back.

20. Text your good friend Beyoncé and listen to "Lemonade" together.

21. Go to Walmart and ask if they have walls for sale.

22. Go to "Sleepy's" and get the rest of your life, or jump on their beds.

23. Become a hallway ninja. Pop out at people as they walk by.

24. Dress up as a chicken and peck at people as they walk by.

25. Tape a cone to your head and become a narwhal.

26. Try to fit into your refrigerator.

27. Become an olympic athlete.

28. Make an origami paper airplane and fly it around the room.

29. Make a YouTube channel and reminisce on your middle school self.

30. Comment on your friend's old Facebook posts from when they were 12.

It's now 12:06AM, and its still safe to say I could run a marathon. Running to cookout sounds more realistic and even then, I'd probably Uber. For your own safety and health, (and mine), we should all just probably go to bed. Let me know if you actually do anything on this list, because I'd be impressed.

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.
