A Few Guidelines For The Swipe

Here are some suggested rules for your swiping journey to find love, or just the kind of love you need for a night.

1. Group Pictures:

If their first picture is a group picture this is a toss up whether to swipe right or left. It could mean they're really social, and love hanging out with friends. Or, it could mean they're very insecure about people judging them and need the other people in their pic as sort of a buffer (aka not the most attractive person, so they need to camouflage in a group). But really, who has the time for a "Where's Waldo?" search.


2. Crazy eyes:

Everyone knows them. Slight bulge, wild, and something just seems a little off in their gaze. Usually found in moderate-to-highly attractive people. I know most guys swipe 99% to the right, but to avoid these psycho ones definitely take a close look. My boyfriend's most recent ex had a real bad case of the crazy eyes.

3. Puppy/Kitten:

Always, and I mean always, swipe right for that adorable little cutie munchkin. I don't care if this person is the most unattractive person ever, or is a convicted felon, you gotta do it for the little one! Fish are a different story. Going to school in the south for two years provided me with a plethora of fish-holding hooligans.

4. Age:

If they look like they're 50, they probably are. If they look like they're 12....well just double check with them because I'm 20 and get mistaken for 15 ALL THE TIME. "Age is just a number" does not apply on Tinder. If they are more than 5 years older, they're most likely a creep. Make sure you adjust the age in the preferences section.


5. Picture:

If you see a 10/10 swipe right, even throw them a coveted super like, but most people only put their best pics up in their profile, just remember that. In person they could look like someone completely different; I suggest adding them on IG or Snapchat so you can double check their pics!

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.

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.
