Spring break is upon us! As you make way your way to your various spring break destinations, here are some ideas to pass the time. If you're in the airport waiting for what seems like forever for your connecting flight or just stuck in the car with nothing to do here are some things you could try to pass the time.

1. Take A Walk

If you're at the airport, go on a little stroll from terminal to terminal. You’ll get some steps in before you get on the plane. You can also peruse the various Hudson News stands and pick up some snick-snacks or maybe even the new Cosmo. This also gives you an excellent chance to people watch. If you're just a little nosey like me, then this is reason enough.

2. Make Up Stories About The People Around You

While you take the a fore mentioned walk around the terminal make up some stories! This is one of my favorite activities whenever I’m painfully bored while traveling. Take turns making up a stranger's life story with your friend. Or if you're traveling solo make up the dialogue in your head. Maybe don’t talk to yourself. Airports are a little stressful anyway so perhaps being the person sitting alone and talking to themselves isn't the best thing.

3. Catch Up On Some Homework

It might be spring break, but homework waits for no one! If you have homework to get done you might as well finish them on your way to your destination. (I know I will be, because I’m the queen of procrastination). Whether your destination is a tropical island, the mountains, a festival or your home you’ll want to be able to be homework-free and stress-free. Bite the bullet and just finish all your work in one day if you've put it off to the last minute. Then you’ll have time for tanning, relaxing and chilling with your pets.

4. Make A Middle School Throwback Playlist

No doubt you and your squad will be jamming the whole way to wherever you might be going. I mean things might get a little emo when Bring Me To Life by Evanescence comes on, but that’s okay. Those painful middle school years might come back to you there for a hot minute, but it’s in the past. You can quickly pick things back up by changing the song to something more upbeat like "Low" by Flo-Rida. I don't know about you, but that always gets me lit. Traveling might be somewhat of a bore, but it’s never boring aggressively booty popping to your favorite throwbacks with your friends.

No matter where this spring break takes you, I hope you get all the sleep, all the fun and all the #friendship your heart desires. And remember; don’t do anything too stupid. No matter how bored you might be.

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.
