You've got him or her, now enjoy that you are a step ahead of some people


No really, enjoy that you found someone that you love so much because a good percent of the world doesn't have that someone. I personally love my boyfriend; who else am I gonna share my insecurities, my problems, and my joy with? This special person has made me a better person because of him. He makes me want to get up every day and I hope one day we can get up together and see the sunrise and all that because truly I am jealous of people who have that already. I want to share with you what I think are the key things that should exist in every relationship.


1. You have GOT to trust them

Alright, we all trust each other, right? Well, I have seen friends say that they can't trust their boyfriends because they think he is a "cheater", "liar" and a "fake". Who the heck wants that in a relationship? Might as well say you don't trust that your parents are actually your parents. It's a sorry thing but one thing I can really say is I trust my boyfriend with everything I own and he has yet to disappoint me, and I him.

2. Believe that the relationship will work out

This seems obvious, does it not? I think from personal experience, this isn't as easy as it sounds. When you are with your S.O., you want to lay down some advice about how you are going to continue this relationship. You want to know each other in and out and be honest about everything you do. I want every one of your relationships to work out and of course if I am speaking from the heart, I know not every one of them will and that's ok! Because I know that you will meet someone who will leave that guy or girl in the dust and you will wonder why you didn't meet them sooner.

3. Laugh when you can, cry when you need to

I have spent nights worrying about grades and whether I will be getting into my dream university and when I am worrying about these things, my boyfriend is there for a shoulder to cry on to. You need someone stable enough to listen to you and caring enough to ask you how you are doing. It isn't a threatening job, just human connection. If that is too much for some, then maybe they don't necessarily need to care for another person. When I am laughing my head off at a stupid meme or because my friend said something funny, my boyfriend can join in whenever he wants to. Don't be shy around your special person, your humor is special and so are you.

Life is too short to be focusing on anything negative about your relationships. Anyone older than you will tell you that as time goes on, you learn to love each other for your flaws and love each other because that's what you intended to do in the first place.

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.
