10 Rules Meghan Markle Has To Follow That We Could Never

Prince Harry might be a catch, but I’m not sure if he’d be worth me starving from lunch until 8:30.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably well aware that on May 19th, American Meghan Markle married Prince Harry. To most of us, this seems like a dream come true. A normal, American girl who started out as just an actress became a duchess. It might seem like all luxury and Prince Charming, but Meghan’s life really is about to change in some negative ways too.

Here are 10 Rules that Meghan Markle now has to follow that most of us could never:

1. No Selfies

Yep, no selfies. This means you couldn’t whip out the puppy filter with your friends, and you couldn’t take endless amounts of pictures of yourself until you finally get the perfect one for Instagram.

2. No Miniskirts

Hemlines can be no higher than an inch or two above the knee. So if you really want to be royalty, you’re gonna have to throw out your favorite short sundresses and skirts.

3. Dinner time is at 8:30

The Queen is known for sticking to a very strict royal schedule, and this includes dinner from 8:30 to 10. Prince Harry might be a catch, but I’m not sure if he’d be worth me starving from lunch until 8:30.

4. Meghan Can’t Vote

Royals are expected to not discuss specific political views, and they don’t vote. I don’t know about you, but the only way I’d be able to keep my views to myself would be if I were locked away for the rest of my life.

5. No Monopoly

Okay I’ll admit, I could live without this one… but it was too weird to not mention. The royal family is forbidden from playing the board game because apparently the games would get “too vicious.”

6. The Duchess Slant

The term “duchess slant” describes the way that Kate Middleton sits with her knees and ankles together, slanted to one side. Meghan is expected to do the same as it only shows the sides of your legs and protects your modesty. The idea of always having to think when you’re just trying to sit down sounds like too much to me.

7. No Crossbody Bags

Royals always have to carry a clutch instead of a purse, because a clutch is a way for royals to avoid shaking hands. So that means no cute purses and crossbody bags… convenience doesn’t seem to matter to the royal family.

8. No Shellfish

For centuries, the Royal Family has not been allowed to have shellfish to avoid getting food poisoning. No more California rolls, lobster, or shrimp… yeah, this whole “royal” thing is starting to not sound so good…

9. No colored nail polish

Queen Elizabeth thinks that any nail color other than pale colors are cheap looking. That means those dark winter nails or bright summer nails have got to go.

10. No tiara until 6 pm

Yeah no, I’m still jealous of her. Any amount of time wearing a beautiful tiara sounds good to me.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
