The Date That Never Was

Can we please be better daters?

Picture this: It's Wednesday night. You're wearing cute old clothes that you can ruin if your date gets messy. You're going to paint a beautiful lighthouse at Painting with a Twist. Your hair looks perfect and you smell like pink beaches.

You're ready to have a great time with a great handsome guy. You've tried it in the past and it didn't work, but now, you think things are different. Now, you're ready to give him and this date your best shot.

Back to reality now, folks!

This date never happened, and I'm starting to think my daydream never even had a chance. A certain, we'll call him Randy O'Bannon, had promised me a cute date night and ultimately played me like a fiddle.

We had agreed on Wednesday night, but we were both also free on Tuesday night. We decided to see each other Tuesday as well as Wednesday. Everything went perfectly.

He was handsome, sweet, kind, funny, and just a Prince Charming. Things were getting hot, romantic, and heavy all at once. Eventually, we ended the evening with a kiss on the lips in his truck just outside my house. He agreed to pick me up for our cute little date the next day at 6:15 P.M. Things were going PERFECT.

Flash forward to me waking up at 5 A.M. on Date Day: *checks phone* My little not so Charming Randy had decided to confess that he was still in love with his ex. He decided that, after our romantic, hot, and heavy evening, he was still in love with someone else.

Doesn't that seem a little fishy? Doesn't Randy sound rather shady? Public Service Announcement: Do not lead anyone on this way just to crush their daydreams six hours later.

Dear Asshats Who Think This Is Okay:

Please wake up and understand that we get if you still have feelings for someone else, but try to let us know BEFORE you get in our pants if that's the case.

No one deserves to be treated like this, and it's time our generation started stepping it up in the romance section instead of just wasting everyone's time like this. It's also rude to come to this conclusion suddenly after you've already sealed the deal.

Just trying to make the world a better place by exposing one asshat move at a time.

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?

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.
