3 Mottos Every College Woman Should Live By
FT Photo Diary

1. "Better to look back and say 'oops,' than 'what if.'"

You are only a young, carefree college student once. This is the time of your life when you have the least responsibilities (although it may feel like the every problem in the world rests on you). This is the time to make learning mistakes without huge consequences. Now is when you make the college memories that later you will laugh over and think "that was probably a bad idea." Instead of, "I wish I would have had more fun." With that in mind, let loose and go for it!

2. Fake it 'til you make it.

Because, let's be honest, we are all out here pretending we know exactly what we are doing. In reality, each of us is just faking it in the hopes that one day, we really will know what we're doing. The key, though, is to look like you have it together. Success comes from confidence. And confidence is achieved through believing you can do it whatever you don't yet know you're trying to do. In the end, nobody has a clue what direction his or her life is headed. Let life take you by storm, but do it with confidence.

3. "Everything happens for a reason."

We understand. Life sucks sometimes. You fail a class, lose your dream guy, and have an explosive fight with your best friend all in the same fifteen minutes. Day like this happen. But, maybe it all happened so that you would re-take the class, meet your true best friend for life in it, and then marry your soulmate who's also her brother. We never know why life works the way it does, only that it will all work out in the long run.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
