With COVID-19 still an issue, we won't be able to spend Valentine's Day the same way we did last year. We've celebrated just about every holiday in a quarantine style fashion, and Valentine's Day is the only holiday left besides St. Patrick's Day that missed the mark. Unfortunately, that means romantic gestures might have to be done a little differently. Romantic dinners out probably won't be the move for most couples this year, but that doesn't mean you have to throw out celebrating the whole holiday in general. There are plenty of fun at-home ideas you can put together for you and your special valentine to enjoy. Here are just a few of them.

1. Throw some aprons on and have a pizza making date.

Take my word for it, the aprons will come in handy as flour will most definitely be flung everywhere. Clean up will pale in comparison to how much fun you'll have cooking together.

2. Build a fort and watch a funny rom-com together.

A simply classic option. Grab some comfy pjs and whole lot of pillows and enjoy a cozy movie night in with your sweetheart.

3. Plan a high stakes, high rewards game night!

Whether it's a series of card games, board games, or an intense round of Mario Kart, set up some rules and add some stakes. Loser pays for dinner!

Whatever you do decide to partake in this holiday, make sure you are spending it with the one who you the love most and of course, stay safe while doing so. Happy Valentine's Day!

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.
