You know the drill. Go to college, meet new people, become super close and never want to leave again, right? Well, yes, but not entirely. There's not a problem with staying best friends with the girls you were inseparable with back home, but the hardest part is when they go to different schools, in separate directions, hours away.

1. You HARDLY get to see each other. Like ever.

You have different schedules. You go home on different weekends. It's next to impossible to meet up, unless it's the holidays and then you have to work around all your family time just to see them, but that's what social media, texting and FaceTime were invented for...amIright?

2. You get a tad jealous because they're making new friends...but so are you.

I mean really, you didn't expect them to not have any friends at all, right? They are around these people all the time. They can't be boring all the time. Plus, you have your new friends too. It will be okay. They won't forget about you!

3. You get to find who you are, without them.

This might be one of the harder things to take in. You think you know who you are, but let's face it, you base that off of who you are WITH them. Going to a different college, you get to explore yourself and find out who you are around other people, people who don't know you...yet!

4. You get to visit new places!

One of the best parts of being on your own and in college is getting to go places whenever you want! Going to visit your BFFS at their college and getting to see what their life is all about is fun and new adventures is what college is all about, right?

5. And finally, when you do finally get to see each other, it's a BLAST.

You never run out of things to talk about with all the new things going on in each of your lives. You learn something new about each other every time, even if you thought you knew everything about each other already, but you always pick up where you left off.

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.
