Your parents are your friends: You know how some people say that they don’t like living under the same roof as their parents? Yeah, you have no idea what they’re talking about. As a homebody, you love spending time with your parents…in fact, you consider them friends.You love talking with them, doing things with them, and even just watching television with them. Bottom line: they're the best.


Your FOMO experience is different: One fact of life is that FOMO is real. All humans have suffered from the “Fear of Missing Out” syndrome at least once in their life. However, while most people fear that they are missing out on an amazing college rager, you are afraid you’re missing out on good food and good TV at home…different strokes for different folks!


Life after college doesn’t scare you…as much: These days, many people move home after college for at least a small period of time. While some people dread moving back home, you welcome the idea of living year-round with your parents again. Even though you may still have your fears about entering the real world, you don’t have to worry about your temporary living arrangements.


You have turned down plans to stay home: All homebodies are guilty of one thing: at one time or another, we have all canceled plans in favor of staying home #NoShame.


People give you a hard time: Homebodies get a bad rap. The word homebody can sometimes be synonymous with “boring.” Sometimes, your friends tell you that you “need to live a little” or “need to get out.” *Insert eyeroll here* If spending time in the comfort of my own home with my loved ones is wrong then I don’t want to be right!


You enjoy life’s simple pleasures: Whether taking a walk on a beautiful day, laughing with friends, or sleeping in, homebodies can appreciate the simple pleasures in life. This is not to say that we don’t like to take risks and have fun, it simply means we can appreciate both excitement and simplicity.

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.

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:

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.
