You Don't "Date" in College, The Titles Just Come Naturally

Go with the flow, don't force someone to.

You Don't "Date" in College, The Titles Just Come Naturally

The days of a guy verbally asking you to be his girlfriend is long gone and totally high school. Honestly, college guys don’t really think to ask you to be their girlfriend after you’ve been “dating” or whatever you want to call it for a few months. You have spent so much time together that the titles just come naturally. And as for going on dates, those don't usually happen either. You're both broke college students, guys do not have the finances to take you out on fancy dates every week. We also don't really have the time to constantly go on dates if you think about it. Between school, work and our own social lives sometimes you just have to make time for each other when you can and sometimes its just between classes. There should not be a need for a guy to ask you out or make a big deal about it.

For me at least, I would rather the titles come naturally and just slip into the relationship rather than waiting around for a guy to ask me out. Not having to be asked to be someone’s significant other has a lot do with growing up. As you get older, I’d hope that you don’t expect some proposal to ask you out. College guys honestly don’t want to think that hard and they aren’t going to unless they are super romantic, which is pretty rare. In college, you are just too busy to even want to think about having to ask someone out. If the relationship is meant to be, it will develop on its own and you should feel secure enough with your significant other to not worry about being asked. Relationships in college are tough as it is, you don’t need to be worry about someone officially asking you out. Just go with the flow, and it will work how it is supposed to. So get those fancy “promposals” out of your head, relax, and let the relationship happen on it’s own. The less you stress about it, the less your significant other is going to stress, and you are both going to be way happier overall.

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.
