So I decided to answer the question, here is a list of ideas for those who don't have boyfriends.

1. Read

2. Run

3. Workout

4. Write

5. Hangout with your friends

6. Learn a new instrument

7. Get a pet

8. Go for a hike

9. Explore poetry

10. Become a food critic (on your own of course)

11. Get your nails done

12. Dance

13. Explore the touristy activities in your area

14. Catch up on chores

15. Do your laundry

16. Garden

17. Have a picnic

36. Research a topic that you've always wanted to know more about

37. Attend an open-mic some place

38. Do some karaoke

39. Go skiing

40. Eat some dark chocolate

41. Take your parents out to dinner

42. Spend time with your siblings

43. Get a new piercing

44. Start a new TV series

45. Learn what you want in your next relationship and the next guy you date

This is a list of 45 things that can be done without a boyfriend. My point is not to rag those who have boyfriends, but to prove that almost anything can be done without a boyfriend (or with a boyfriend). Having a boyfriend is not essential to learning how to live or love. Rather, you should be with someone who makes you happy but does not take time away from the things you love to do. A boyfriend is not someone who completes you, but compliments you. Dating is normal, being interested in guys is not bad, but forgetting your friends, replacing your friends, forgetting who you are, and losing pieces of who you were is wrong. Go on and date, but those who are single are okay being who they are without having to compromise on what they want to do or who they share the bed with.

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.
