10 Things You Know If You're Dating A Gamer

Gamers are a special kind of people who possess a certain set of characteristics that might make them a bit hard to understand to most, but if you've ever dated a gamer or are dating a gamer, you'll realize soon enough that you can't help but love them.

1. They are LOUD!

Seriously, it's like they have megaphones down their throats amplifying their every scream. They are constantly yelling so loud that the neighbors can definitely hear them. But hey, gotta let their teammates know how angry they are every four seconds.

2. They are the kings and queens of insults.

They honestly come up with the absolute worst things to say to people who have wronged them during a game. No clue where they come up with it all. It's also surprising how much they just roll off the tongue.

3. They spend hours at a time ignoring you.

You can literally walk around the house naked and they won't notice you.

4. They get their frustrations out.

They can spend hours at a time screaming their head off and then be calm as a doorknob as soon as they disconnect. It's like therapy for them.

5. You CANNOT walk in front of the TV screen.

God forbid you walk in front of the TV and get your honey killed. If this happens, leave the house and don't come back… I'm kidding, they'll get over it. Come back.

6. You can talk, but they won’t hear you unless you hit them.

Have you seen that movie "Click" with the remote that can freeze time? It's kinda like that. They're sitting there and you could literally be yelling over their yelling and they wouldn't even know you were there.

7. They will even skip meals sometimes if the game is just too intense.

They'll say they're hungry and then three hours or so pass, and they're still on the Xbox. Hunger is a mere annoyance.

8. Sleep? What is sleep?

You're trying to sleep? HA. Good luck with that. Your slumber means nothing to them. It's like their yelling has only one setting: all the way up.

9. You hardly ever have anyone over anymore.

Who wants to have friends over when that series y'all are binging is interrupted constantly by angry screaming from the next room? Yeah, not cute.

10. They demand every ounce of attention they can get from you when they're done for the day.

They spend hours ignoring you but get their feelings hurt when you don't give them your undivided attention at all other times. It can be slightly annoying, but you know you would do it.

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.
