The worst part about going to school in a place like Kentucky is the weather. You never know what to expect, in the middle of December it may be 80 degrees, in the middle of July is might only hit 60.

While some of this weather may be beneficial there is nothing worse than snow in Spring and every college student I know has the exact same thoughts about this.

1. It was 70 and sunny two days ago

Less than 48 hours ago you were pulling out your Chacos, hanging up your Eno and slapping on the tanning oil. Now you are dressed head to toe in down feathers and living with a fear of slipping on ice.

2. I already put away my winter clothes

Those few days of warm weather and a trip to the beach for spring break had you convinced it was the end of parka season. You now spent your morning digging through your closet for your snow boots and searching under your bed for your warmest scarf.

3. Do I really have to go to class?

There is something about sunny days that make you want to get up and get outside. But the second those temps drop, going to class seems like the worst idea you have ever heard.

4. Why didn't we have a snow day?

The inch of snow on the sidewalks could cause some serious hazards on our way to class. Come on, why are you risking the safety of your students?

5. How many weeks until summer?

All the sudden the Spring semester seemed to get a whole lot longer. Someone start a countdown on their phone because if this snow sticks around any longer I'm not sure we will make it.

There's nothing better than coming back from spring break bronzed and refreshed just to have to throw on your parka again. So please Kentucky, I ask for all the students here at UK, start bringing back the sun!

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.
