If you don't go on vacation for Spring Break, then you probably go home. You think that it'll be relaxing and chill, but then you find out just how wrong you were. You catch yourself doing homework, helping out with family stuff, and still not getting enough sleep. Basically, it's not quite what you had planned, even if it still is nice.

1. You still do homework

You might not have planned on doing much as far as homework, but you definitely still are. You just can't justify putting it off until you go back to school when you have all of this extra time with no classes.

2. You don't sleep nearly as much as you thought you would

You had all of these big plans to catch up on sleep, but then you did all of this homework during the day and just want to watch Netflix at night, but your family members inevitably wake you up in the mornings after you've binge-watched Friends for the tenth time until 3 am.

3. It isn't always relaxing

You think you're going to just chill and even with the homework, you still manage to have some time for it, but then you have other stuff going on like going to visit your grandma or helping make dinner — all good things, but still a good chunk of your chill time.

4. You really miss your friends

For maybe a day, you thought that some time apart from your people would be good for you, but then you start to really miss hanging out with them and having someone distracting you from your work.

5. The weather is actually not nice

It's usually cold and windy and sometimes it snows (because, hey, it's March).

6. You don't actually eat any better

You probably told yourself that you were going to eat better when you were home on break because you have more time and your mom is (hopefully) making your food fairly often because she's a wonderful human who loves you, but then you realize how much you missed all of your favorite local restaurants and then you're in a hurry because you've gone out with friends and before you know it, you've eaten worse than when you started.

Basically, Spring Break is just a huge tease for summer vacation, but hey, you'll take what you can get!

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:

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.
