"Kissing Booth" is #trending now, and it reminded me about my first kiss. Like most girls, I was absolutely terrified. Unlike most girls, I was a little bit late to the party because I was in the ninth grade. Oh and did I mention that it was in a movie theater with three of my best friends watching? Yeah. I guess I waited so long because even though Instagram was barely a thing at that point in time, I was and still am a romantic, and I wanted my first kiss to be like what we see on Instagram. Granted, I still want that "Instagram relationship", so not much has changed.

I knew it would happen during the movie, and as per usual I was freaking out. I remember that we all sat down at the movie during the trailers—I was with my little ninth-grade boyfriend at the time—and my best friend saw that I was panicking and grabbed my arm and dragged me to the bathroom. ,She quite literally slapped me and told me to get my shit together before pulling out her lip gloss (its six years later and I still don't know where it came from) and told me to breathe. That's what a friend does for you. Ironically, our other friend who was also at the movie was trying to kiss her; there was no tension in that row at all.

Anyway, we were watching "Catching Fire" and he put his arm around me. Of course, he was taller than me so, naturally, I felt him look down at me. When I returned the gaze, he kissed me. I think some something in the movie blew up because I promise the sparks were not romantic or in my head. Still, in my head I'm like, "oh this isn't so bad". Yeah, the taste of popcorn and root beer and I think that Shake Shack burger from earlier will never leave my mind. Here is where I tell you that our braces got stuck and our friends had to pull us apart. No, our braces didn't get stuck together, but about three seconds later I realized he still had his rubber bands in his mouth. Pulled away fast and waited for him to realize. He did. *Initiate first kiss take two.* Awkward? No. I totally forgot my friends were there and hoped they weren't watching us . Well, maybe just a little bit. So, I did get my little fairytale, just how I wanted it. So, it was kind of like a Noah and Elle moment. I still hate root beer though.

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.

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.
