Grandma's are here for a good time, not a long time and we want to enjoy them while they last. Here are some reasons why your grandma should be your best friend.

1. She spoils you with love and lots of cookies.

Grandmas make the best cookies, regardless of flavor.

2. She never fails to make her house feel like home.

Sometimes if your lucky, you even get your own room.

3. She takes you on some pretty bomb vacations.

Whether it’s the next town over or somewhere tropical, she spoils you.

4. She's been with you since birth so she basically knows everything about you.

All of your past relationships, all of your friends, your daily routine, she knows it all.

5. She keeps your secrets from your parents.

She knows some things that you’ll keep from them for your entire life.

6. She's pretty much your human diary.

Tell her everything, she won’t judge. Also, she gives some pretty good advice based on her life experiences.

7. Did I mention that she bakes a lot of cookies?

Snickerdoodles, chocolate chips, sugar, no bakes...

8. She listens to you more than she listens to anyone else.

She would drop everything just to hear your voice.

9. She gives you a little more love than she ever gave her own kids.

Grandkids are truly spoiled!

10. In her eyes, you can never fail, no matter what.

Even if you win last place in your favorite sport, you won first place in her eyes.

11. She has the biggest knowledge of natural healing remedies for when you get hurt.

Don’t even get me started on the jello/Sore-throat trick or the “spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”

12. She has seen you naked as a baby so she knows you inside and out.

She has changed your diapers and most likely kissed you all over the place so know that she probably knows where all of your birthmarks and scars are.

13. She makes an effort to introduce herself as "grandma" to your friends.

Mi abuela es tú abuela. = “My grandma is your grandma.”

14. She never thinks that you are too old for sleepovers at her house.

She definitely knows how to party!

15. ^ Where she makes cookies

AH YAY COOKIESSSS!!!!!

16. She's down for crazy adventures because she savors your youth.

You may think that she is being “embarrassing” or “uncool” by going to the movies with you but someday you’ll look back on those days and smile.

17. She loves you more than anyone in the world so cherish her at all costs.

No one lives forever, spend all the time that you can with her!

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.
