College is really nothing more than trying to be successful while often making poor decisions.

Well, for me anyway. Here are some of the lies we college kids have to tell ourselves every once in a while so we keep on feeling like successful human beings :-)

1. I am not waiting until the night before my essay is due to write it.

Sigh....every. single. time.

2. I failed my test, but I'm totalllly getting a 100 on the next one.

So since I got a 60 on this one, if I get a 100 on the next one I'll have an 80 test average and you can totally get an A in a class with a B test average! Always works, right?!

3. It's perfectly normal to eat fast food almost every day.

I mean, is Chipotle even fast food? And Chick-Fil-A can't be that bad for you. Plus, Starbucks fraps are basically just coffee.

4. I'm going to cook so much cool food in my apartment!

....pasta. Always just pasta.

5. Coffee is like, suuuuper healthy.

So many like, antioxidants or something. One cup is like equal to an hour of yoga I heard.

6. I am NOT drunk!!!

I know I just fell down in the middle of the street and took six tequila shots, but TRUUST me have never been so sober in my life. I don't even feel it yet! *starts to cry over middle school boyfriend*

7. Even though I haven't studied, I'll do better if I just go to bed right now.

If my head is clear and I get a full 8 hours in, I'll do better than actually learning the material won't I?!

8. Just one more episode and then I'll fall asleep right away.

One episode of my favorite show very rarely happens. Or the old, I'll just turn it off at __ o'clock. Nope

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.
