20 Reasons Why Your Friends Are Better Than A Boyfriend

If you're like me and have been single for a terrible amount of years, then you know that being single is one of the ultimate struggles. However, if there is anything that I have learned in my years of existence, it is that even though I am single, I still have family, friends, and others who love me unconditionally. Yeah, the single life gets pretty lonely and sad, but I cannot be happy with someone else until I appreciate what I already have. Here are 20 reasons why friends are better than a boyfriend.

1. They text back.

2. They communicate.

3. They don’t leave you wondering what they meant by that last text message.

4. They understand you.

5. Social media doesn’t tear your friendship into pieces.

6. There is a clear understanding to the outside world that you and your friends are friends.

7. You don't feel guilty if you don't spend time with them.

8. They leave the stress at the door when it comes to the friendship.

9. The text messages are hilarious and are worth saving.

10. They know your worth and you know theirs, so no one has to prove anything.

11. If it comes down to it, they choose you, because they value the friendship.

12. Queens recognize queens.

13. If you are petty, they support it, instead of calling you out on it.

14. No boyfriend = no problems.

15. If your friendship is really that strong, you don’t have to worry about competition.

16. They don’t tell you how to act or how you should act.

17. They will always be on your side, no matter what.

18. They won’t leave you with a broken heart.

19. They think you are too good for anyone.

20. Girls just wanna have fun.

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.
