With finals coming right around the corner for me, I need to give my mind a little break from studying. Since I am usually using my computer to study, I always give myself a break to let get lost on the world wide web. I, of course, have go-to websites and it's sometimes a struggle to get myself back on track (especially after an intense round of Papa's Pizzeria). Studying for finals is obviously important, but I can't help it if my mind wanders away every once and a while...

1. Cool Math Games









For any kind of game you can imagine from your childhood, Cool Math Games will have it. I'll definitely get myself way too invested in some kind of Papa's cooking game, and Sugar Sugar is for SURE my go-to game to ease my mind of stress.

2. Pinterest

Now there obviously aren't any games on Pinterest that I can play, but creating new Pinterest boards and looking at aesthetically pleasing posts calm me down from what could have been a million meltdowns of the night instantly. If you don't have a board for your future home, you're doing it wrong.

3. StumbleUpon











I feel like not that many people know about this website, but it is for sure a fun one. Just by filling in your interests, in the beginning, you have access to thousands of websites that would cater to the things that you like. So if I am in the mood for a good laugh, a fun mini-game, or cute video of animals, I know that StumbleUpon will now disappoint.

4. Webkinz











Okay, Webkinz is on this list just because it brings me back to simpler times before college finals were even a thought in my mind. Webkinz has some banging games (the song for cash cow is a bop to this day), and I just miss the days when my biggest worry was timed math quizzes tbh.

5. Facebook

You already know that I'll spend a decent chunk of time on Facebook. Since I have so many family members, I love being able to see what everyone is up to. My cousins have the most adorable children so you already know I've caught myself saying "AWWW" out loud in the library by accident. My time spent on Facebook usually lasts until I see a person I am friends with posting pictures or status updates about how successful they are and I tell myself that I should hit the books so I can pretend I will be on their level.

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.
