Turns out it isn't as easy as we'd hoped.

And to think, I thought I would have life totally together by now!

1. Forgetting To Make Your Doctors Appointments

It's not that I'm trying to avoid going, I just truly forget about it. You can send me as many reminders as you want, but I promise I will still forget to make any kind of doctor appointment. Fingers crossed that there's not a secret disease running rampant through my body!

2. Running Late Because You Refuse To Use Your Maps App

I "thought" I knew how to get back home the other day. Turns out I ended up 15 miles past the airport, and 30 minutes late from the dinner I had planned to attend. A responsible adult would definitely use their GPS, I should learn from them..

3. When You Feel Permanently Exhausted Because You're Incapable Of Going To Bed At A Reasonable Hour

I only meant to watch one more episode... Going to bed early is for the weak. You can sleep when you're dead.

4. When You Spend Your Final $5 On a Shot

Payday is only a week away!

5. When You Discover You Suck At Feeding Yourself

Turns out you cannot live off of applesauce cups and Easy Mac. I have the diet of a 4-year-old toddler.

6. When You've Become A Pro At The 'Smell Test'

Heaven forbid I actually have to do laundry. The washer seems determined to ruin my life... and every minute of my free time.

7. When You Finally DO Laundry, And Avoid Folding It For Weeks

Ninety-eight percent sure there's a load of clothes that have been sitting in my dryer since Tuesday. Who knew that your dryer doubled as storage space?!

8. You Avoid Talking About Your Job At All Costs

Uhm, what do I do? For a living? *Insert vague and confusing answer here, and pray to God that they don't further interrogate you*

9. When You Avoid Checking Your Bank Account Balance

I don't actually want to SEE that I spent my final $5 on a shot...

10. When You Realize that You Are NOT Excel Proficient

Contrary to what you put on your resume, you have absolutely no idea what you do not know about Microsoft Excel.

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?

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.
