10 Reasons Being Single Is Actually Awesome

1. You don't have to consult another person before doing something.

Want to take that job across the country? Want to get a cute new pup? Good news, you can! Without having to discuss it with a significant other or receiving any backlash.

2. You can have friends of the opposite sex and it not be a problem.

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to have a *just* friend of the opposite sex.

3. You save money that you would be spending on presents for them.

You don't have to waste your money on a Valentine's Day card and a Christmas present. You get to save it and spend it on things you want: like wine and food.

4. You get more friend time.

When you're in a relationship, it can be hard finding the balance between friend time and girlfriend/boyfriend time. If you're single, you don't have to worry about this struggle, you get to spend all your time with your friends! Bless.

5. You get to focus on yourself.

Only having to worry about one person is a true blessing. You can devote all of your time and energy toward improving yourself and living your best life.

6. You don't have to share your food with another person.

Order that large pizza with all your favorite toppings and eat the entire thing. Just because you can.

7. You get the chance to grow as an individual.

Explore your interests, your passions, your talents. And go wherever they take you.

8. The whole bed is yours.

And it's absolutely acceptable to sprawl across it from one corner to the other.

9. You can watch whatever you want, no complaints or questions asked.

Feel like watching game show network all day? Cooking shows? A stupid reality show? Go for it.

10. You're spared all of the pointless, random arguments relationships come with.

You don't have to argue about how much wine you drank, or that outfit you wore, or where to eat. Congratulations, you are spared.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
