Going into college, you mentally prepare yourself for a life different than the one you had in high school. Part of the college experience is going out to party's or bars but the day you no longer have to use an ID that says 'Sally Jones' is kind of a big deal. You finally get to use your real ID and never have to worry about being caught with a fake!

1. Make sure you eat

This may seem like a downplayed thing, but it's your birthday and you are trying to live it up; Make sure you eat so the food can help ease your stomach that will soon be filled with booze.

2. Pace yourself

Don't try to rush the drinking because that blackout will come sooner than you think!

3. Have a designated driver

Y'all already know you will be way past able to drive, so make sure you have that one person you trust to make sure you will be making it home safely.

4. Take lots of photos

You probably will wake up the next morning not remembering all that happens, so ask your Designated Driver to take lots of pictures so you can look back on the memories you don't actually remember.

5. Be ready to embarrass yourself

Whether it's at the bar or club or back at your apartment when the night is through, just know you will embarrass yourself at one point. Just accept it and roll with it.

6. The hangover

If you're blessed like me, this hangover might not be as bad as some of the ones your friends have experienced, but just be prepared. This hangover is about to be one like you've never had. Drink plenty of water & take some Advil.

7. The looks

When you're at the bar, be prepared for all the looks you and your friends will be getting! It's like most people in the bar have never celebrated a 21st Birthday, but don't worry they've been exactly where you're at!

8. Don't take drinks from strangers

I feel like this is childish, but oh well! Don't take a drink from someone you don't know. People will try buying you drinks all night but, if you don't know them, don't just accept a drink. Be safe.

9. Have fun

This night is one you only get to celebrate once so go out and live it up! Enjoy the night with your friends, your man or your girl, and hopefully, it's a night you may (or may not) remember!

These are just a few of the things one should remember when it comes to celebrating their 21st birthday... So go out live it up cause you only turn 21 once!

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.
