1. Your Zodiac Sign

This is a good one to get because your zodiac sign never changes, it will always mean something to you and zodiac signs are small.

2. Your Pet’s Name

If you are anything like me and your pet is your best friend, if I were to get a tattoo of my pet it would be his name with his paw print under it. It would always mean something to me because my dog is my best friend and now you’ll always have them with you.

3. A Simple Heart

A heart is easy because it could mean anything and you could personalize it however you want. Also, if you want it to mean more later, they are easy to add on to. For example, maybe later down the road when a big milestone happens (say you get married or have children) you could add the date of your wedding or your child’s name under the heart.

4. A Meaningful Date/Number

A date is always a good idea because then you’ll have that date with you forever. It could be your wedding, your child’s birthday or even a meaningful number. For example, my friends have a bracelet with the number of miles their schools are away from each other.

5. A Special Motivational Word/Phrase

These are my favorite because a motivational word/phrase is what it is - motivational. Whether it’s just the word “smile” or “confident” it always means something.

If you don't already have a tattoo in mind, it can be tricky to come up with one you want if all you're thinking is "I want a tattoo", hopefully some of these ideas help with your first tattoo.

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.
