Don't you hate it when you and someone else aren't on the same page about something? Yeah, me too.

I think one of the major things that needs to be a good foundation or law in dating a person is clarity. Clarity does not need to just be address in one of the first dates, but in almost every date after that. The reason why I'm saying all this is because I think that is being lost in dating nowadays. Women and men are getting upset over things that could have been completely solved if there was clarity in the relationship.

In the beginning of a relationship, there needs to be clarity when talking about the type of relationship that you want to have and also where you want this to go. There also needs to be clarity about big decisions or situations such as kids, jobs, friends, family, etc. Point being, there really just needs to be clarity all up in that relationship.

Life is already pretty tough when you aren't on the same page with a classmate or coworker about a project or something. We don't need to add a lot of extra tough things to our relationships. Relationships are meant to be joyful and genuine. You want to spend time with someone that makes you happy and makes your life better. Not all relationships are going to lead to marriage, but the point of them is that you are making that person a better person and that you're getting the same in return.

As humans, we tend to make things as we call it "complicated" when it comes to dating. But honestly, everything is quite simple once you break it down. You either like him or you don't. You either want to go to the restaurant or you want to go bowling. You either want her to meet you there or you want to pick her up. Now, not everything is super easy to decide on and takes some time to think about, but when you add more clarity to the relationship, you are decreasing the number of hurt feelings on both ends of the stick.

Treat each other as you would want to be treated, and remember that you are both human. We know what hurts and what makes us feel better. Find that out about your partner and get some more clarity going on in the relationship. It's worth it.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
