One of the great things about going to a university is the amazing number of opportunities to study abroad. But, while traveling to Europe is definitely on my bucket list, this summer I'll be spending my days working, watching "Bob's Burgers"and scrolling through thousands of social media posts featuring cute clothes, tan skin, and European landmarks. Don't get me wrong.

I love seeing the gorgeous pictures you know they planned months before the trip, but I would be lying if I said I didn't have these thoughts every once in a while.

1. “It doesn't matter!" Denying you are stuck working while your friends have the adventure of a lifetime.

Louise Belcher "It doesn't matter!"

2. “I'm fine." And of course, it doesn't bother you at all.

3. “This will either be fun or terrible." Thinking about spending the summer at home.

4. “But ironic detachment is great! Nothing means anything!" Because you're “soooo happy" for them…and not jealous at all.

Gene Belcher

5. “Was it obvious I don't care?" When you're scrolling through the emotional, heart-felt, three paragraph post accompanied by photos of an ambiguous European landscape.

Gene and Tina

6. “I've eaten nine pieces of cake, and I still feel empty." Because no amount of American spaghetti and wine can cure your Italian fever.

7. “The real tragedy is that I don't have time to get nachos before we start." Of course there is a positive — you can eat whatever you want because you won't be needing that “summer body."

8. “Ugh, my heart just pooped its pants." One of the many thoughts you have while looking through Instagram posts of people in Europe.

Tina Belcher, broken heart

9. “Oh. It's okay, I guess I wasn't meant to have a good life." Oh and this one too.

10. “Oh, why don't you go fart in a phone booth!" And this one. Especially if they are in London.

Angry Linda Belcher

11. “Oh, put some mistletoe on my butt and kiss it." When you complain about working instead of traveling and someone says, “Well, I never traveled abroad in college."

Belcher Christmas

12. “Oh, I swear to god, if you keep talking I'm gonna gut punch you." “At least you're making money." Yes, instead of having the SUMMER OF A LIFETIME. Please. Keep talking.

Sassy Louise Belcher

13. “This is taking too long! I need chocolate!" One of the many thoughts you have while working.

Gene Belcher and chocolate

14. “If you need me I'll be down here on the floor dying." Definitely a thought you have after working a 9-5 shift.

Tina Belcher on the floor

15. “My life is more difficult than anyone else's on the planet, and YES, I'm including starving children, so don't ask." And this one too.

Moping Gene Belcher

16. “Summer is awful! There's too much pressure to enjoy yourself!" Finally, maybe the most relatable quote – whether you are traveling or working.

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.
