If you think about it, college isn't a good excuse to end your relationship with someone you love and care deeply about. Yes, being hours and hours apart from your loved one will be and is extremely tough, but here are 5 reasons why breaking up because of college is dumb.

1. Losing your best friend

Personally, someone you love is normally your someone you can have fun with, be yourself with, share secrets with, and never get tired of. Characteristics like those are characteristics of a best friend. Your partner is your best friend. Do you really want to give that up?

2. No one will ever be like them

For some people, maybe you don't want someone like your old partner. But what if your partner is everything you've ever wanted in a person? What if you planned on spending your life with that person, you're really going to let going to different colleges or universities determine that?

3. The memories

It's very, very hard to tell the difference between missing a person, and missing the memories. Eliminate that option, and don't let that person become a memory and all the time you spent with them become one either.

4. A relationship is better than a hook up

At the end of the night, going home with/to/talking the one, same person every time, is a billion times better than someone new or different every weekend. Even if you are unable to go back to your dorm room or house to your loved one, it's much better knowing you have them, and FaceTiming them, than bringing back someone else to your room. Two is never better than one.

5. Time should not be a factor

If you really love someone, time is never a determining factor when it comes to a relationship. Even if it becomes months without seeing each other, the emotions and feelings shouldn't fade or change, but grow. Time should make you appreciate each other more, and appreciate the time you do get with each other, not making you grow farther apart.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
