As Carrie Bradshaw said, "I revealed too much too soon. I was emotionally slutty."

5 Lessons The Bachelor Taught Us About What Not To Do In Relationships


1. Drinking on the first date

A glass of wine⏤or two⏤to ease the jitters on a first date is totally fine, but don't over drink. There is nothing more humiliating (or unattractive) than killing a bottle of Chardonnay and complaining about how terrible your ex-boyfriend is.


2. Emotionally slutty

As Carrie Bradshaw once said, "I revealed too much too soon. I was emotionally slutty." Don't reveal too much about yourself early on in the dating stage. Be mysterious. Not emotionally slutty.


3. Hide the crazy

While being crazy might get you to the top four on The Bachelor *cough* Corinne *cough* it tends to scare most respectable men away early on in a relationship. Yeah, we're hormonal, we PMS once a month, they understand that, but don't flaunt your crazy all at once, or all the time.


4. Clinginess

This goes hand in hand with number three. Nothing is wrong with being a little clingy with your guy from time to time, he might even think it's cute occasionally, but don't overdo it. Guys need their space, and frankly, so do you. Be independent. Guys like independence more than they like a koala strike.


5. Open relationships / dating other people

To each his own on this one, but I think if The Bachelor nation has taught us anything the last fifteen years, this is it. Yeah, there are some people who can do it, and that's fine, but dating more than one person is tough, complicated, and even heartbreaking. Don't go down that road unless you're prepared to deal with the consequences.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
