11 Things To Do Instead Of Dwelling On Being Single

Whether you're a fan of relationships or you're single and proud, it's hard to completely escape the reality of single life. There is always at less one person in your immediate vicinity, whether a friend or yourself even, with the single blues. But hey, this is the time to have fun, not mope around. I mean if you must, flex on your ex briefly, but once that's done it's time to think about other things. Here are a few fun ones that are guaranteed to always cheer you up.

1. Flex

Because clearly—who are we kidding—that's always the first step.

2. Eat

Food is the best fix—always.

3. Shop

I swear everyone feels better with a new pair of shoes.

4. Do something artsy

Creative outlets are exactly that—outlets. So sing, dance, or pick up a paint brush. Whatever it is will definitely help you escape those negative thoughts.

5. Go on an adventure

Have a new experience you'll never forget.

6. Ride in a convertible

Feel the wind blow through your hair and just live. Or find a car with a big sun roof and create that illusion.

7. Binge watch a TV show

Some of those original series really are fire, trust me.

8. Try some of those Tasty videos on Facebook

Because you're going to have to cook the food and master a new skill.

9. Hang with the boys

Because you wouldn't dare talk about relationships around them.

10. Buy a bath bomb

You'll be mesmerized by its beauty.

11. Woman up

Because you should know that you don't need a man to make you happy, and everything always turns out for the best in the long run.


Whatever you do, just avoid a wine night with the girls—unless you want to sob yourself to sleep after watching a romantic movie...no thanks.

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.
