An Open Letter To My Boyfriend Before He Is Deployed For 6 Months
Nicole Ventura

Zach,

I feel like it was just yesterday I was saying goodbye to you for bootcamp, for 3 months. Now your leaving for 6 months, it's going to be hard, but I want you to know I will be fine.

The past year and a half has been a roller coaster for the both of us and so many people had their doubts, but we proved them wrong. It's going to be different for the both of us. It's going to be hard for the both of us, but in the end, it will make us stronger.

I'm going to be focusing on school and your going to be focusing on work. Were both going to have bad days and those days are going to test us, but we will get through them. There are going to be good days as well, but they are not going to be the same without you.

It scares me not seeing you for 6 months because that's half of a year. I know you're going to be safe. This is just a big change and were going to have to adapt to it. Right now it seems like the worst thing in the world, but I'm sure in the end everything will work out how it's suppose to.

While everyone looks at us like we are crazy, you comfort me and tell me how everything will workout. Right now all we can do is play it by ear and see what happens.

I'm sure I'll be thinking about you all the time and you will be doing the same. This is our chance to focus on our own goals. I'm so proud of all your accomplishments so far and am excited to see what other things you will accomplish while you are away.

This is just temporary. Don't worry about me. I love you! Have an amazing time!

Love Always,

Nicole

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.
