38 Things That Are Legitimately Better Than Having A Boyfriend
Lettuce Eat Kale

When summer turns into fall and fall turns into winter, most girls (thanks, Hailee Steinfeld for that kick ass song!) want someone to cuddle up with.

Let me ask you something, what is so much better than the comfort of another person (did someone say unnecessary body heat)?

The comfort of a very big, very large, cheese pizza while watching your one true love Jim Halpert (sorry, Pam) on your quest to finish binge-watching The Office in one day

1. That feeling just after getting your eyebrows done.

2. Being naked whenever the hell you want (and feeling sexy doing the damn thing).

3. All the carbs in the world*.

4. *Not worrying about all those carbs you just ate and skipping the gym because honestly, who actually voluntarily goes to the gym?

5. Chocolate Cake from the Cheesecake Factory… and eating the whole slice.

6. Don’t feel like showering? No problem.

7. Uber Eats.

8. Being makeup free and loving every minute of it.

9. Online shopping.

10. Finding a killer coupon code to make sure your habit (see #8) doesn’t get ~too~ out of control.

11. Free WiFi.

12. Eating Nutella FROM THE JAR, wearing the coziest sweatpants you’ve got, listening to Adele.

13. Not leaving your room on a Sunday.

14. Netflix.

15. Garlic bread.

16. Not worrying about what ~he~ thinks of you.

17. As a matter of fact, not worrying about what anyone thinks about you because just being yourself is damn good enough.

18. A messy bed… and leaving it the way it is.

19. Thinking about names for your food baby because the amount of food you just ate deserves a name.

20. “Forgetting” to do laundry.

21. That massage chair in the mall.

22. Having an entire lunch by going through all the samples at Costco.

23. Going past 100 likes on Instagram.

24. Being on a super crazy, super awesome roller coaster instead of that gross emotional one that came with the boy.

25. “Free boobing”

26. Anything with cheese in/ on/ all over it.

27. Having face mask night, every day of the week.

28. The most perfect eyeliner cat eye you have ever created.

29. ABC Family’s Harry Potter Marathon.

30. A trendy new hairstyle.

31. Sleeping in and getting brunch in your pajamas.

32. Hibernating to avoid all social interactions.

33. Missing your period by a few days and not worrying at all.

34. Not wearing pants.

35. Dreaming about the day you meet the Chris’s (Pine, Hemsworth, Evans, Pratt) in secret hopes that Chris Pine will Princess Diaries the sh*t out of you.

36. Having your bed to yourself.

37. You. Your best friends. Like 6 bottles of wine. Crappy reality tv.

38. Being a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need a man to define herself.

You don’t need some guy to define who you are. There is so much more to this world of ours than having a boyfriend. Learn to love yourself before you love anyone else. Find adventure. Be silly and goofy. Don’t let anyone or anything hold you back. With exploration comes the discovery of something great and beautiful.

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.
