Pinterest is the one site on the internet where you can spend literal hours and have an entire wedding planned with food, DIY decorations, and a workout regime included. Here are some common issues we all face when you are too addicted to Pinterest.


1. Why pay $5 for an item when you can spend $20 and make it yourself?

We usually counter this idea with the fact that whatever we are making will be of a higher quality and make more, but in the end we know we just wasted an extra $15 to see if it actually works.


2. People are so concerned about being Instagram worthy but in reality we just want to be Pinterest worthy.

Whether its a homemade recipe or an idea for a new DIY, you could care less about what your Instagram followers think about it. No, your Pinterest crew would appreciate this much more. So, you create a pin and wait for your creations to inspire others.


3. You realize how bad you are at makeup.

There are pins touting "easy makeup in 15 minutes" you try, you fail. Just how is their makeup looking so flawless in under 25 minutes? That's how long my eyeliner takes...


4. Pinterest fails are a very, very real thing.

You are dying to try a new recipe. You put said recipe into the oven expecting it to come out exactly like the picture, because obviously other people have been able to do this. You take it out of the oven, but alas, the cute little snowmen cookies have melded together to create one massive mess. Note to self: don't do this one again.


5. You are able to waste hours on this site.

Whether you are trying to avoid your family gatherings, or are looking for ideas to spice up your room, allow yourself a minimum of an hour. There are so many cool ideas that lead to others, which lead to even more. It is so easy to become lost in this site, use at your own risk!

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
