Dating is hard.

From defining what you guys are to setting rules on whether it's okay if to hang out with the opposite sex alone or like "this is supposed to show the workout but only shows her butt" Instagram post, there's a lot that goes into dating.

But things get a little more tricky with online dating. Apps such as Tinder, OKCupid, and Bumble are intended to making dating easier, but users have some hilarious and heartbreaking stories to tell. If you ever took part in online dating and let's be honest, you had your fair share of "just 5 more I swear" swipes, you likely noticed these 5 things wrong with online dating.

1. Hookup Culture Prevails

If you're looking for a "real relationship" online you're pretty much out of luck on dating apps. Sure there are people who are looking for long term together since dinosaur days type love, but some people are willing to make a whole dating profile only to find people who are down to Netflix and chill.

2. It's Superficial

We all do it. We swipe right for the hottest girls or guys and send messages to people only because they're attractive. The fact that they read all the Harry Potter books or donate to charity is as pointless as counting calories on holidays.

3. Love At First Site

Online dating doesn't give you the opportunity to notice the little things about people that you like or wouldn't like as you only can go off their pictures. Also it kind of ruins the spontaneity of love. The we met at Trader Joe's fighting over the last "Apple Pie Cheddar Cheese" is lost.

4. Art Thou Lying?

Catfish isn't just a show. People lie online about who they are which is pretty obvious with the one picture of the super fit guy, but more times than not it's about their personality. How they seem online is way different from how they act in person.

5. People Ghost You

This is possibly the worst of the 5 things wrong with online dating. Things seem to be going well then bam, from nonstop texting to left on read. A millennial love story.

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.

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.
