'Where Do You Hope To See Yourself In 10 Years?'
Sarah Kathleen

“Where do you hope to see yourself in 10 years?”

I. Hate. That. Question. Every job interview I have been in where they ask that question, I’ve died a little inside. Where do I see myself in 10 years? Uh, great question. I don’t even know what I’m having for dinner tonight.

Of course, I slap a smile on my face and explain the professional nonexistent picture of where I hope and dream to be at in 10 years. But if I was being completely honest with them, if I had to explain where I would hope to see myself in 10 years it would look something like this:

Shotgunning at my wedding? Definitely on the future bucket list.

Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend obviously never had a dog.

And boys wonder why John Legend is every girl's man crush.

Everything about this family is a yes please.

Hmm. 10 years down the road. Hopefully laying on endless Louis Vuitton?

And my husband will worship me as such above.

Having kids does not ruin your social life if you know how to adjust properly. College might end, but the drinking games never do.

Throw three more dogs on that hammock with me and a martini in my hand, but close enough.

Because I will obviously look that good after having a baby.

Dinner in the ocean? Duh. Every night.

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.
