I love dresses. They are comfortable, easy to put on, and have a lot of room to breathe on the hottest days of the summer. There are, however, a few struggles that come along with the ease of dress-wearing. And I am here to talk about them.

1. Bending over

Whether you accidentally dropped your pen or you are just trying to use something that is on the ground, bending over in a dress is nearly impossible. Either you have to do an awkward squat so your back stays up-right, or you have to hold your dress down in the back so it looks like you are just holding your butt. It's a lose-lose either way.

2. The wind

I don't know about people who don't live on the Plains, but, here in Kansas, 60 mph winds are nothing out of the ordinary. When selecting a dress, I must think about the amount of time I will be spending outside. Is it worth having to be constantly holding my dress down in fear of flashing the entire world? I'm not trying to feel like Marilyn Monroe today. Thanks, though.

3. Sitting down



I have always felt a special bond with Mia from "The Princess Diaries." How the heck is a lady supposed to sit in a dress, be comfortable, and still be modest? I'm not sure that attaining both is actually possible. And that is just sitting in a chair! Don't even get me started on trying to sit on the floor.

4. They ride up

Sometimes I like to wear dresses to school. It's almost always a mistake. The second I start to make my way across campus, my backpack has gotten a hold of the material and is pulling it up, up, up for everyone to see. Being cute and studious is just not a good combo. It makes me feel a bit like season one Rachel Berry from "Glee." I'm convinced that everyone if looking at me thinking "Why would she make that fashion choice?"

While these struggles are very real, and I deal with all of them pretty much every time I wear a dress, they are sacrifices I am willing to make. Dresses are just too dang comfortable to give up. Plus, they are the easiest way to look cute. Don't want to put in an effort, but have to look nice for dinner? Just throw on that t-shirt dress and call it good! It doesn't get much better than that.

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.
