To My Big As She Leaves For Study Abroad
Whitley Taylor

I know that neither of us are really into the classic, sappy big-little stuff, but I thought I'd go for it anyway. It's starting to sink in more and more that you're leaving me for an entire semester, but it's fine, I'm fine.

First of all, I am so excited for all that you are going to experience next semester. You're going to learn and grow so much and I can't wait to see this all of the amazing things that you are going to do and see.You're going to thrive and Italy is SO lucky to be getting you. Eat your body weight in gelato and pasta. I can't wait to live vicariously through your Instagram pics and weekly YouTube vlogs. You'll be thriving without me.

It really is going to be weird without you for entire semester. We joke about seeing each other every day, but it really is true. I know that I can show up at your house for a quick rant or for a good time. I can always count on a laugh every time we hang out. You're always down to gossip, watch Criminal Minds or just to be there for me.

You really have had such a positive influence on my college experience. As basic as it sounds, I really couldn't imagine college without you. It's hard to believe we've only been friends for a year and I'm so excited for all of the memories we'll make together in the future.

When you told me you were going to go abroad for an entire semester, I can't even tell you how excited I was to hear it. But as the time for you to go comes closer, I am sad to see you go. I'm already counting down the days until you're back with me.

Have the time of your life in Italy, make a lot of memories and don't you ever forget about me. I'm always a FaceTime call away -- and you already know I'll be callin' you on the reg. You're going to do amazing things in this world, and your studying abroad is just going to be a taste of everything you will do in the future. I am so incredibly proud of you. I love you!

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.
