4 Of The Best (And Useful) Forms Of Social Media
Quartz

1. Facebook

Facebook is the place to get the latest trending news, see what your friends are up to, or show everyone your latest vacation in a photo album. Facebook is great because you can message others in a user-friendly environment and a beautiful interface. Posting a status has never been easier, and uploading a photo is even easier. As far as watching videos, Facebook makes it incredibly easy to watch related videos and find what you really enjoy. Facebook is a combination of Twitter, Youtube, and a personal experience all in one! Although you can be bombarded by content sometimes, there is always the simplest solution—take a break.

2. Instagram

Instagram is the greatest place to see snapshots from your friends' lives and upload your own. I use Instagram as an outlet to upload pictures every once in a while from important moments in my life. You can find everything from makeup tutorial videos to how-to food inspirations and pictures of beautiful prospective vacation spots. Whatever you choose to use Instagram for, I guarantee that you will find something that you like on the entire database of photos.

3. Pinterest

Pinterest is the epitome corkboard of inspiration for craft projects, amazing recipes, or anything else that you can think of. The delightful posts are user-uploaded, which contributes a wonderful sense of the Pinterest community. I have done countless projects from the website and I can say first hand that it has been extremely helpful. I have also used Pinterest as a weight loss aid because it has thousands of creative recipes, motivational quotes, and workout circuits that can be done at home or at the gym. Whatever you decide to do with a Pinterest account, I'm sure you will create something amazing.

4. Snapchat

Snapchat is a way of seeing hundreds of small moments from your friends' days that disappear after 24 hours. It is great to be able to see what they are up to and use it to show what you are up to as well. For example, I always post pictures of my food, because I love cooking and I take pride in the presentation as well. People seem to always come up to me and give me compliments on the things I cooked last night or to tell me that they would love to try a dish of mine sometime. Snapchat is the best for quick and momentous pictures of everyone's life!

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
