15 Times When "Little Manhattan" Described Your Relationship Status
fanpop.com

For many of us, "Little Manhattan" was the movie where we fell in love with Josh Hutcherson. With romance, awkward encounters, confusion, and anxiety mapping out the road that is first love, it gave 10-year-olds everywhere the knowledge that their fourth-grade relationships were not nearly as tough as Rosemary and Gabe's was. Turns out 11 years later this movie is still surprisingly relatable to college relationships. Here are 15 times that "Little Manhattan" perfectly described your relationship status.


1. Recently single after a bad breakup:

Maybe it was your first love or someone who you thought that you were going to marry someday, but you weren't prepared for how painful the breakup was going to be.


2. Happily single and focusing on yourself:

Maybe you know who you are and what you want, but that relationship wasn't it. Maybe you have no idea what you want, but you're going to try and figure it out. Either way, you just need some "you" time.


3. Newly dating and getting nervous for all of the right reasons:

Never in your life has holding hands been so exciting and so scary.


4. Newly dating and trying to play it cool:

Unfortunately, you're not quite managing it.


5. Changing several times getting ready for a date, getting overwhelmed, and canceling:

It looks like it's just you and me tonight, Netflix.


6. Recently single after a mutual breakup:

It doesn't feel great, but you both knew that it wasn't right.


7. Realizing that you're falling in love:

Those songs don't seem so ridiculous anymore.


8. Unsure of what you two "are:"

There are so many possible answers, but you can't bring yourself to actually ask the question.


9. Unprepared to fall for anyone:

It only seems to happen when you aren't looking for it.


10. Realizing that love is more complicated than you thought:

You were expecting flowers, sunshine, and sparkles. What is this madness?


11. Awkwardly trying to flirt with someone who doesn't know that you exist:

In the words of Neville Longbottom, "Why is it always me?"


12. You're so in love that you agree to go on irritating errands with your partner:

It's all in the name of love.


13. Reaching that level in the relationship where you don't care if you look like a dork:

Feel free to twirl around and be silly in public, your partner thinks that it's adorable and not crazy at all.


14. Waiting for a text message from someone who you're interested in and overanalyzing the situation:

Are they taking forever to text back because they're sleeping, in the shower, driving, or is it because they're ignoring you? The world may never know.


15. Things are rocky, so, instead of being mature adults, you fight like middle schoolers:

What problems were ever solved without name calling?


Whatever your relationship status is, just remember that you didn't break your arm trying to break a wooden board in karate in an attempt to win someone over.

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.
