Ladies, we've all been there. You're at the club, the bar, or a party, just drinking your choice of beverage and maybe dancing to some pretty good music with some of your best friends. You're having the time of your life until suddenly, someone pulls you aside and derails all your fun. They begin to talk to you and proceed to ask you to dance or for your number, but all you really want to do is take a couple of more shots and dance with your friends.

This type of scenario gets incredibly old and annoying. Being in the same boat, I've come up with a few ways to get creative when you don't want to dance with someone at a club, bar, or party.

"She's my girlfriend!"

This is one of my favorites. I usually grab my friend, or even another girl next to me, and tell the guy that the girl is my girlfriend and it usually throws the guy off, leaving him very confused.

"I only like to square dance."

This is a little odd to say, thus forcing the person to believe you're kind of odd and depending on their preferences, this excuse may or may not work.

"I'm claustrophobic."

A girl's gotta have her personal space!

"I can't, I'm about to go to Trujillos."

Let's be real here, Trujillos > boys.

"If I dance any more/longer, I just might throw up."

Hey, everyone gets a little wild now and then! He'll probably thank you for not throwing up on him.

Pretend like you didn't hear what he said.

With the loud music, I don't usually have to pretend that I didn't hear him asking to dance with me because I didn't actually hear him. But if you did, you can always pretend that you didn't.

Give an honest answer.

Lastly, and probably most importantly, I suggest being honest. It's 2018 and women should be able to have the freedom to do what they want without feeling bad for not pleasing someone or giving someone what they want. How the guy reacts to your honest answer that you don't want to dance with them is simply a reflection on them.

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.
