Dear High School Girls, Sorry, But Boys Do NOT Get More Serious In College

I know everyone says wait to date until college... but I can promise you that's not always 100% true.

I know I am the negative nelly when it comes to relationships, but hear me out on this one.

Most guys in college aren't looking for anything serious unless you meet someone in the 5%.

I have a theory that 5% of guys are honestly pure-hearted souls and well the other 95% are just extremely immature in college. It isn't impossible to meet someone in the 5% because I know a ton of guys in that category that have the purest hearts.

Now, the 95% of guys don't have to be completely terrible but I would suggest staying as far away as possible from these types of guys in college.

I promise you they will just hurt you and probably won't want you for more than one thing.

I get it he's got a cute smile, perfect jawline, piercing blue eyes and a bod.. but is he really worth the heartbreak when you know he's a player? The answer is always no. I can't promise you that you will be able to avoid heartbreak completely, but you can avoid it way more by going after the right guys, rather than the ones that will just use you.

Boys do not necessarily mature relationship wise in college, but that's perfectly okay. I understand that it's human nature to feel like you MUST have someone to be with but don't just settle on anyone. Have standards, let yourself fall in love with someone. I know it's the scariest feeling to put your all into something, but if it's real you will know. Don't be afraid of getting hurt and don't just date someone because of looks, truly let yourself fall with the right guy when he comes along.

I promise college will really be the time of your life but don't be worried if you don't find your guy in college, there's plenty of time later.

Focus on your career, friends, family, and overall experience before putting pressure on dating.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
