Growing up... we all have to do it sooner or later. You chose whether or not you want your "growing up" experience to be challenging or easy. If I would have known some of the things I'm about to tell you, then it would have made my life SOOOO much easier.

1. How to say "no"

There are many instances that a simple two letter word could have saved me so much trouble. Whether it was caving into peer pressure, giving people money, or any other variety of complicated teenage drama, saying no would have saved me from a lot of headaches

2. How to save money

Every dollar I wasted on toys, food, other people is greatly missed now. When you get older, you too, will probably regret spending money on pointless things

3. Stop chasing after those fake friends you won't have in a few years

Say goodbye to 95% of your high school friends. You think you will last forever, but people grow older and just move apart.

4. Take your time and appreciate not paying bills. Love your childhood

Boy do I miss the days of mid afternoon naps and coming straight home after school to watch Spongebob marathons with snacks and playgrounds.

5.Your mother is always right.


Even when you don't want her to be, somehow in the end she always is right

6. Workout and eat healthy!!!

So all those relentless speeches your parents give you about eating your veggies... is true!!! Take it from me: there will be a day when you wake up and there are nothing but aches and pains from many years of eating 4000 calories of sugar a day and not exercising in years.

7. Love yourself

And finally, I would tell you to love yourself and believe in your abilities more than you ever have before and make the most out of life

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.

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.
