RIP Middle School.

Middle school: a time of self-expression and questionable choices. If I were to go back in time, here are some things I would tell my tween-age self:

1. You don’t need every color of Old Navy Flip Flops.

You also don't need to wear two different colors- you look silly.

2. Silly Bandz aren’t cool and you don’t need to wear 2948375938 & 2 of them every day.

Well... that's $150 I'll never get back...

3.You’re really going to reject every one of those Facebook Pages that only semi-relate to you (if at all).

I have no words for myself..

4. You didn’t look cool wearing a full face of makeup with PJ bottoms… more like a hooker.

Pick a look.. Please.

5. Not everything has to be name brand AND labeled.

Glad we paid to be a walking billboard...

6. You are not in love with your boyfriend… or your crush. You don’t even know what love is yet.

You'll find love, I promise, but for now, fall in love with yourself.

7. Appearance isn’t everything- be yourself, love yourself.

It's okay to laugh at the memories later, but you can't love anyone if you don't love yourself.

8. Don’t ever, ever cut your mom out of your life... and tell her you love her every day, trust me.

4 words you won't ever regret... I love you, mom.

9. Not every picture needed to be Picnid'ed...

Nope... Not cute...


10. A bad day doesn’t mean a bad life.

"Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain"

11. We don’t live in “Mean Girls”.. a burn book is NEVER okay… ever.

Nope, just no.

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.
