10 Reasons Every College Student Needs Online Classes To Survive

1. You only go to school half as much...

I just registered for classes and thankfully I was able to get some online classes! Not only are online classes amazing for my sanity, but they're also great for my education. Trust me, take online classes!

1. You only go to school half as much...

Everybody knows that freshman year is full of 8 a.m. classes, and sophomore year gets a little better and so on. Online classes allow you to go to school only two days a week instead of four or five. Hello self care and sleep!

2. The profs tend to be way nicer...

3. You actually stick to the syllabus...

If you're like me, you absolutely despise going off the syllabus. Snow days don't mess with the schedule. Things really don't change.

4. You can go at your own pace...

Most of my online classes have everything uploaded so you can go at your own pace. Yes, there are deadlines but you can prepare for way longer.

5. It's less intense...

You don't have to wake up, drive to campus, deal with people over and over again. It's all online so a ton of anxiety is stripped away.

6. Your classmates are nice AF!

We all know how the discussions go. Everyone loves everything you say because it's too much work to disagree. We love a nice, easy "classroom" discussion.

7. You learn more...

I've always ended up teaching myself but in online classes, that's literally what you have to do. You learn so many skills that classroom teaching doesn't teach. Time management, communication skills, and so many more skills have come to me from taking online classes.

8. You don't have to leave your bed...

9. You can finish it early...

Since most online classes are posted in advance, you can finish it early so you don't have to worry about it anymore!

10. It's cheaper...

The class cost may be the same, BUT you don't have to pay for parking...

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.
