There's no denying that college is the peak time to explore relationships and connections; being surrounded by thousands of students your age provides some prime opportunity for mingling. With relationships, however, can come the unfortunate yet inevitable feelings of hurt and heartbreak. And hey, that's okay; you learn so much from the bad ones. With that being said, here is some timeless food for thought to consider as you navigate the world of dating, relationships, and love:

1. The person you are dating should be good for your mental health, not detrimental to it.

2. There is a difference between loving someone and loving the idea of them.

3. “Be the woman a man needs, not the woman who needs a man.”

4. Don’t be with someone unless you would be proud to have a son or daughter exactly like them.

5. You shouldn’t have to question if they want to be with you. If they want you, they will prove it.

6. You can’t expect someone to love you until you love yourself.

7. A relationship should complement you, not complete you.

8. If it's not easy, it's not the right person.

9. “Marry the one who gives you the same feeling you get when you see your food coming at a restaurant.”

10. In an argument, fight the problem, not the other person.

11. Never settle.

12. The way they leave tells you everything.

13. Talk with your partner about the things that hurt.

14. Seek respect, not attention.

15. Never date someone who is rude to their mother.

16. Don’t resent the bad relationships, you need them to understand what a great one is like.

17. Be creative with the time you and your partner spend together.

18. “Don’t date the life of the party, date the one who makes sure the life of the party gets home.”

19. Date someone who you could have fun with at a grocery store.

20. Breakups hurt, but losing someone who didn’t appreciate your amazing-ness is actually a gain, not a loss.

I hope you took this advice to heart (pun intended), and that it got you thinking. Here's to healthy and happy relationships!

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.
