1. Backpack

Don’t think you are too cool to use a backpack in college because you will definitely need one just like everyone else. I always get mine in a solid color so it doesn’t clash with my outfits and then personalize it with pins, patches and key chains.

2. Reusable Bag

It's good to have a few of these laying around for going to the grocery store. They're more sturdy than plastic, look cuter, and you don’t have to feel guilty about throwing them out after only one use like the plastic ones.

3. Tote

This bag is great for everything from going to work to your friends house. You can even use it in place of a backpack on days where you don’t have as much to carry.

4. Going Out Bag

A little smaller and more fancy than all your other bags this one will come in handy for the weekend when you don’t want to carry a large, heavy bag all over downtown. It also helps to make your outfit look more put together and dressy.

5. Duffel

The biggest bag of the bunch can be used for shoving your stuff into to lug home on the weekends or for dragging your laundry to the laundry room.

6. Drawstring Backpack

Just a casual lightweight backpack for when you're going to the gym, park, beach or just feel like being hands free.

7. Cross body

These types of bags are what I use on an everyday basis in college. They are big enough to hold the essentials without being too big that you keep a ton of unnecessary stuff in there that just weighs you down.

8. Wristlet


Many girls on campus prefer to carry a wristlet. They can fit your keys, money, student ID and phone and can be tossed right into your backpack if you don’t feel like carrying it.

9. Personal Touch

As you have heard many times before college is the time where you really start to figure yourself out and that includes figuring out your personal style. I recommend having at least one bag that helps you to stand out, makes you feel confident, and reflects who you are and the message you want to send to the world.

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.
