It Sucks Not Living With The One You Love

Can we live together already?

When people are starting with new relationships, we can enjoy being together quite a bit. Even after the honeymoon phase ends, feelings can still be as strong as ever. When couples don't live near each other, it makes things harder than things need to be. Maybe one isn't quite over a long term relationship, maybe the two of you aren't financially ready to move in together. It sucks being apart from each other.

For one, the extended periods of time you two spend together are wonderful. Running errands with each other, eating breakfast together, cooking dinner together, binge-watching Netflix shows all night; everything you do together make you genuinely happy. Sleepovers for consecutive days help you understand who you're with, they can help you envision your lives together. Even if work keeps you on separate schedules, you'll still come home and fall asleep with your love. There's no better feeling.

However, there are nights where you can't be together. The examples are endless; yet it still doesn't seem like it's a good enough reason to be away. You can't sleep without them by your side, you can't think of anything else but your sweetheart. You text them relentlessly. You Snapchat them every time you think about them, which happens to be incessantly. You find memes that they'd love on Twitter and send them repeatedly. You yearn for them, you miss them even though you've only been apart for a few hours. You know leaving hurts when your love starts to tear up when you gather your things to leave.

Being apart from the one you love is rough. Be it school putting you hundreds of miles away, the military putting one of you on the other side of the globe, or living two towns over, the situations are endless. I can't stress it enough - if you care enough about the one you're with, don't let some distance get between the two of you. If things are meant to be, they will be.

When you two are ready, move in together. It'll be the be best thing to happen to the two of you, and it's the perfect dry run for the long term. It'll strengthen your relationship in ways you'll never have thought possible, and the struggles you'll go through together will fortify your partnership exponentially.

Yes, it's hard being away from your love right now. But once you get past this weird stage of going back and forth between houses and make the move to live together, things will be much easier. You and your love will be even more inseparable than before, and the two of you will grow into who you are supposed to be, as a couple.

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.
