Dear Society, I Don't Need A Date To Formal Right Now And That's Ok

There is not really a special someone in my life giving me all the heart eye feels.

I just came back from my sorority formal from last night and boy do I have a lot to dig into for this article. I feel like this dance was a lot of fun for sure, but I think that formal dances get a lot of feedback after in regards to who you took with you or who you didn't take with you.

A lot of the time people expect you to have a date going to dances. Honestly, I did not have a date for my junior year prom. So when it came time for formal, I just kind of was in a similar spot in my life. There is not really a special someone in my life giving me all the heart eye feels, but I sure do wish.

But I am not going to let that define my happiness when I go out or when I go to the dance itself. I'm there to enjoy myself and have a good time. Life is too short sometimes to worry about the one, the one will eventually come to me. I sometimes want to plan everything out in my life, and this most certainly is not something you can just plan for.

I do hope in the future I am able to have all the heart eyes for someone that I can eventually show off and take to dances. I hope that he is out there waiting for me and cannot wait for the day we cross paths.

In the meantime, I am going to go eat some chocolate and listen to I Hate Love Songs by my girl, Kelsea Ballerini. I may even watch some Netflix, y'all will never know haha. What are your go to's when you are not in a relationship? Let me know below!

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.
