Second Semester: As Told By Grey's Anatomy

But then after all the fun is over, the exams kick in and you are right back to waking up before 10 every morning.

Second Semester: As Told By Grey's Anatomy

When you first get back from break, all you can think about is getting back to your friends and participating in all the fun activities for welcome week. 

But then after all the fun is over, the exams kick in and you are right back to waking up before 10 every morning. 

When your professor hands out the syllabus... and there is an exam within the next two weeks... 

When you regret signing up for classes earlier than 12 o'clock...

When you refuse to get out of bed to go to class... 

Then you just have to look on the bright side and get through the day... 

When you go out for the first Tuesday of the semester... 

And then Thursday, Friday and Saturday.... 

When you sleep through your 8 a.m... again...

When people ask you about your spring break diet...

When you think you should start exercising again... 

But then you find yourself back on the couch... 

When your friends are talking about how happy they are all the time...

But then you reach a new level with your best friends...

When your mom calls you to see how you are doing...

Will someone please tell me why I took the hardest classes ever? 

When midterms roll around and all you can think about is how stressed out you are... 

When you can't go out with your friends because you are in the library studying...

And how you haven't gotten a full nights sleep in weeks...

You finally get to sleep and all you want is to be left alone...

When you walk into your exams like a boss...

But you leave like...

When you try to explain how you feel to your friends...

Realizing spring break is around the corner...

The feeling of going food shopping for the first time in like a month...

Valentine's day is also during second semester so there's that...

When you neglect your foundation and mascara for a good week and you have been sitting in the library for 24 hours...

But in the end, time does fly and you will inevitably miss the all nighters and the nights out with your friends... 

And then you get all emotional about leaving everyone...

And then you are right back at the beginning, just waiting for next fall so you can do it all over again.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

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.
