"Dating."

What do think of when someone says that word to you? Is the first thing that comes to mind the characteristics of the perfect guy? Or do you look at your personality and determine how you will date? Will you be like most millennials and go online to the many dating apps? Or stick to the old-fashioned routes of meeting someone in person?

Are dating apps too cliche? Some really oversell the app. They all, at one point, say that they are the highest in statistics and more people get marriages out of them. More and more people are going the online route. Which one will you choose: online or meeting someone in person? More or less, it depends on the type of person you are and the type of person you want to be with.

As with many things in life, dating does have its pros and cons. People can oversell themselves and not be themselves. Word to the wise: being who you are is the best choice; if someone doesn't like you, that is their loss, not yours.

No matter how old we get, no one wants to be single and be alone; at some point in our lives, we want to be with someone and change the rut we are in.

Dating is like eating cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. Why do I use the analogy? Well, two things: I like eating cheesecake, but more importantly, there are many options and ways when it comes to dating.

The most important thing I can say about dating is to be safe, be yourself, and know that dating is not something that can be rushed — you have to let time do its thing. Like everything, time will always take over, and when it is the right time to meet that special person, the time will come when you least expect 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.
