We've all been there.. it's 2 am and you can't help but click on those ads that keep popping up about those stylish new boots that'll have you ready for fall! Attention extreme shoppers... this is how you know you're guilty:

1. You make a trip to the store for one thing... but lets be real

Tar-jay.. need I say more? We all know it is impossible to walk out of Target with just the things you intended to get. I mean, come on.. I could really use a new mug for my morning coffee.. in addition to my 100 other ones.

2. You're easily convinced into deals and promotions

It's buy one get one half off... cheap!! The second is only half of the price? That's a bet. And those cute boots.. buy them and you get a deal on the socks...and the protective spray...and the second pair....

3. You can spend hours in one store

Personally, this is where Hobby Lobby, Michael's and Joann Fabrics come into play. Always having a 40% off coupon on things if it's not already on sale? Woah! That frame..I may not need it but it needs me.

4. "But do I REALLY need this?"

Yes, the answer is always yes. (Ooops)

5. If you're not at a store, you're online shopping

In between homework assignments or emails and such, that's your go-to. Finding yourself 12 websites deep an hour later is nothing new here.

6. Trials.. (Danger!!)

Those free one-month trials always get you. You get so used to all the perks it's only right that you continue receiving them!

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.
