Now that I'm in college, I can't help but think about all the times that the '90s sitcom "Friends" summed up basically every thought that had been running through my head. For those unfortunate people who have yet to watch "Friends" (which is now on Netflix and on TBS and Nick At Nite every day), you should know that is about a group of six individuals living in New York City trying to figure out how life works after college. Although we're stilling getting there, their struggles are all too real for the everyday college student.

1. Going to your first frat party.

2. Your roommate takes your food.

Especially when you were really looking forward to those leftovers.

3. Your the roommate who took the food.

What's mine is yours?

4. Walking in on your friends.

5. Someone talks on the second floor of the library.

6. Seeing your grades at the end of the semester.

7. The walk of shame stories you hear.

Sometimes, no excuse can justify it.

8. You hear the word, "free."

Free shirts? Free food? Free paper? Who cares! Always go.

9. You look over the paper you just handed in after an all-nighter.

10. Showing freshman 15 who's boss.

11. The dining hall just isn't happening.

And they deliver right to the door.

12. Rereading texts after a night out.

13. You try to make new friends.

14. You get the package notification email.

Nothing is like getting a package, especially one containing food!

15. Your professor cancels class.

16. One of your friends is leaving for the weekend.

It may be for only a few days, but even that's too many.

17. Rolling up to class on your new bike.

18. Justifying why you're watching Netflix all afternoon.

Because getting up and going to one class is extremely tiring.

19. Raining on a night out? That's not going to stop us.

20. You try not to be late to class.

At this point, people might as well stop walking all together.

21. Getting ready to go out with your squad.

22. The struggle for money becomes too real.

23. You try to do laundry for the first time.

The worst is when you put the red sock in with your white load. Goodbye white, hello pink.

24. Those guys who try and rock the facial hair to look "cool."

25. Making Friends who will be by your side forever.

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.
