You don't need me to tell you that periods suck, but, in case you forgot, they so do. It would be grand if our boyfriends showed a little support, am I right? Listen up, boys, here are 10 things we all wish our boyfriends would do for us when we're on our periods:

1) Buy tampons.

I know this is uncomfortable for you, but please. I need them so badly.

2) Buy chocolate

All the feels about everything in life are stressing me out. Chocolate is like instant medicine. It makes everything better.

3) Buy bananas.

According to healwithfood.org, bananas may help reduce cramps associated with menstruation. Yes, please.

4) Bring me Ibuprofen and some water.

When I realize that the bananas aren't reducing my cramps fast enough, please get me some good, old fashion pain meds. I feel better already.

5) Make me food.

I'm starving and crampy and grumpy and pleaseeee just make me a grilled cheese.

6) Shower me in compliments.

Although I would never admit it, I am very, very sensitive right now. Please shower me in compliments because you don't understand how bloated and ugly I feel right now.

7) Reassure me that everything will be OK.

Worries amplify tenfold when you're on your period. When I'm freaking out, please reassure me I'll be alright.

8) Let me yell at you for no reason.

This is not fair to you in any way, but it would be great if you'd let me yell at you about anything I feel like. I apologize in advance.

9) Stay with me and cuddle for hours.

I know I'm asking for a ton of favors, but I'm going through a lot right now, OK?

10) All of these things. Over and over again.

Just until I stop dying.

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.

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.
