13 Things You Think When Packing for School
College Lifestyles

1. Can’t wait to get to school!

2. Ugh. I forgot how much I hate packing. 

3. I probably don’t need all 20 pairs of my shoes but just in case we have that animal-themed social, I’ll bring my knee high leopard-print boots. 

4. Wow this is heavy. Maybe some guys can help me carry this to my room and I can scout out the cute ones.

5. Where is my black dress I wore to dated last semester? Rachel must’ve taken it home with her by accident. 

6. Makes sense, because I have Rachel’s red dress. 

7. Wow this shirt isn’t mine either.

8. Everything is going to be so wrinkled by the time I get there. 

9. Can’t forget my paddle and all of my room decor!

10. Also can’t forget all of my favorite frat apparel.

11. Ugh this is Sean’s shirt I stole so I didn’t have to walk of shame in a see-through crop top. Well he’s never getting it back now. 

12. The zippers on this suitcase are about to burst but I really really need this super cute outfit. Maybe if I sit on it...

13. One suitcase down, ten to go. I hope this all fits in my Jetta.

What about you??

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.

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:

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.
