An “Old Soul” is a young person whose interests, hobbies, and traits surpass the years they have spent on this earth. They crave deep connections and their deepest connection lies with the “old-fashioned.”

Where old souls are the deepest and most passionate type of person, they are usually also the most misunderstood. Here are 11 things that’ll break down the misconceptions of Old Souls.

1. Most of us are introverted because we have to pursue our interests independently.

t

It’s part of that-thing-that-makes-us-unique.

2. Sometimes we’ll say the same phrases your grandparents use(d).

Really, “groovy” is just another way to say “cool," which makes talking to adults a piece of cake.

3. We’d much rather see a Van Halen cover band then go to the Justin Bieber concert with you.

They also probably believe that most of today’s music is garbage.

4. “Snow White” is just as cool as “Frozen”.

Catch my drift?

5. Texting is probably the WORST way to communicate with us.

Call me on the phone. Better yet, show up at my front door so we can talk in person!

6. "Dad rock” is just “rock” to us.

If I’m no one’s dad, “dad rock” isn’t a thing.

7. At least one of our favorite movies is in black and white.

...and ALL of their favorite movies are from the 20th century.

8. We’re not the best vacation buddy if you’re the type of person who likes to relax.

Don’t get me wrong, I love lying on the beach as much as the next guy, but I’d much rather go explore the local coffee shops or visit historical sites!

9. We hold a very romantic view of relationships and the world.

This is both good and bad because situations either end in a happily-ever-after or a disappointment.

10. If they don’t already own a record player or Polaroid camera, you’d best believe they want one very badly.

Records just sound better and Polaroids just look cooler. Every Old Soul can attest to this.

11. We’re unconventional. Deal with it.

If we were normal, we’d suck.

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.
