It's a beautiful day out. You're casually walking to class looking like a trash bag per usual. Minding your own business.

**BAM!!**

You see that boy you matched with on Tinder last night. HOW AWKWARD. Here's 10 thoughts that run through your head...

1. Wait... is that Brad or Chad...?

You swipe right on just about every male with Greek letters in their pics, cuz who doesn't love a good frat daddy?

Once you run into them you have to think... wait which one are you? Since they all wear the same Vineyard Vines tee... Awkward...

2. Please don't say hi. Please don't say hi.

All of a sudden...

Your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.

HA.

Just please don't talk to me sir... being on Tinder is humiliating enough.

3. Okay... But do I say hi?

I mean he's cute... I'm cute... Do I say something? Do I just pretend like I don't see him? I'm sweaty. AH. What do I do with my hands?????

4. I think you need to update your pics....

Boy, you look NOTHING like you do in your pics.... Disappointing AF. *Unmatches eminently*

5.  I hope they don't message me later.

^^^^ My face when I receive that awko taco Tinder message saying, "Hey. Saw you on the bus. You looked good."

YIKES.

6. How you doin'?

HOLY MOLY.

You are even hotter in person. I'll be messaging you later ;)

7. Do you even recognize me?

I think I've worn this shirt 3 times this week, I've maxed out on dry shampoo days, and I kinda smell... There's no way they know who I am.

8. IS HE WITH A GIRL?? 

Excuse me? I thought Tinder was for single people! They look pretty cozy. What the hell! I'm livid. This is why the world is all messed up!

Oh.

That's totally his sister...

Ok we are all good. Nevermind. I'm Good. Walk it off.

9. What is he wearing...

Safe to say, fashion is probably not his strong suit. Lots of room for improvement.

10. Okay... why am I even on Tinder?

I think seeing this boy in public just took 10 years off my life. Why am I even doing this? CYA.

Once they pass, you regroup and delete the app right?

Who am I kidding, you get on it again that evening and go through this all again tomorrow on campus :)

When in doubt; swipe it out.

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.
