Women Aren't As Hard To Please As You Men Think

An open letter to all men.

Understanding a woman isn't rocket science. Pay attention to what we say and give us a little help around the house and we will be less of a mess.

Women, especially moms, have a million different things running through their heads at any given time. It's easy for us to get flustered and out of sorts when the plans in our head don't work out the way we intended.

If you men see us running about or in a hurry don't just watch us or stand by. Ask how you can help, and then do it. Nothing drives us crazier than someone asking what we need help with and then ignoring it or deciding that it can wait. If you don't plan to follow through, don't bother asking in the first place.

Trust me, if you follow through with helping us out we will definitely be thankful. Pleasing us isn't always about gift giving or taking us places. Simple things can make us happy.

If we're having a hard day offer a foot rub or cuddles on the couch watching our favorite mushy movie. Take the time to listen to us and hear our problems, even if it about the same girl at work that we can't stand and you've heard it before. We don't expect you to be Mr. Fix It, just listen. We just want to be heard by you.

Flowers for no reason other than just because is always a nice gesture. Flowers don't always mean that you're in the doghouse or it's our birthday. We like pretty things.

If we're having a bad week and get grumpy don't get grumpy back. We have millions of hormones float ing around our body and what they make us do or say is not always our fault. Give us chocolate or ice cream and we'll chill out.

Another tip, Most women like to make a list of things that we do during the day just to keep us on task. If you can find the list then take a couple of the tasks and do them. Even if it is as simple as dropping the dog at the vet or picking up a gallon of milk on the way home.

And, say thank you! We like to know that we are appreciated.

I can't stress this enough and it's an important one. If you're one of those men that require praise for every little thing that you do, like taking out the garbage or doing the dishes, get over yourself. Women do enough and we don't expect a thank you for everything. We're adults and taking care of things in everyday life is just natural for us.

If a thank you was given for everything that's all we would ever hear.

So, just to sum up, APPRECIATE your woman, LISTEN to her. HELP her. With all the things that we do for men and our children don't take us for granted, we don't deserve that. A little appreciation goes a long way.

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.
