Your New Spirit Animal

If you don’t already know who Iliza Shlesinger is, let me proudly be the first to introduce you. She is a 32 year old comedian from Dallas, Texas and everything you aspire to be in life. You may know her as the season six winner of The Last Comic Standing, unless you're me and know nothing about stand up comedy until your Little forces you to watch it on Netflix. She has two segments currently on Netflix, War Paint and Freezing Hot, and I encourage you, no, I demand you go watch them immediately. Before you do that, here is a list of reasons why she is my (and soon to be your) spirit animal.

  1. She has the cutest rescue dog that you've ever seen named Blanche (because let's be honest that's everyone’s favorite Golden Girl, and we're still mourning her recent passing).
  1. We finally have something to blame our drunk alter ego on - #partygoblin.
  1. She doesn't quite have this whole dating thing down yet either. (Silk blouse? Clutch? What?)
  1. Her dream break up is something you wish you had thought of.
  1. She makes you feel better about your food choices. (Tapas? Salad? More like hungry for life.)
  1. Her Pinterest obsession rivals your own.
  1. She understands that “Is it cold outside?” is always a plausible question.
  1. Her priorities are in order. “Give you a handjob or get fries? Both are salty. One will give me carpal tunnel. I'll go with the fries.”
  1. She speaks the truth about your ‘at home clothes.’ “Why are they covered in holes? Because tears corrode.”
  1. Finally, she voices what we all know to be true: going out…is war. “This isn't a push-up bra; it's body armor! And this ain't makeup, sweetheart, it's war paint!”

I could go on forever, but who has time for that when you have Netflix to watch? So, grab a bottle of wine and a straw(why dirty a glass when you're just going to drink the whole bottle anyways?), curl up with your boyfriend (cat, whatever), and be prepared to laugh your at-home-clothes-covered ass off. And if you don't like her after those two hours, then I'm sorry. You just can't sit with us.

Being Invisible The Best Super Power

The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible? Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

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:
