"A flirtationship is a relationship between two friends, where both people engage in flirtatious behavior without the promise of becoming anything more." - LovePanky

Have you ever been in one of these? This is a really interesting topic to discuss, because when you enter into this place in a relationship, you never really know what could happen. Often, you find yourself in different places within a relationship and flirtationship is a fun place to be. You've realized that you aren't in the friend-zone but you don't necessarily need to DTR (Define The Relationship). There's nothing wrong with flirting, but here I just wanted to give you a bit of insight on how, with flirtationship, you should be a little careful.

1. If you are in a flirtationship, have fun. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with flirting. Too often, especially in the kind of circles I'm apart of, we tend to feel like we need to get through the flirting phase to quickly. Like if the relationship is not Facebook official, then there is something wrong. Sometimes, we need this to make sure that there is not only a temporary connection, but a lifelong connection as well.

2. If you are in flirtationship, be safe. Just because you are in a flirtationship with someone doesn't mean you are the only one that person may be talking to. Hopefully that's not the case, but because you aren't officially in a relationship, anything is open. Protect your heart.

3. Finally, if you are in a flirtationship, DTR. I wouldn't wait too long to Define The Relationship, because if you are in a flirtationship for too long, someone might become confused and end up thinking that maybe nothing is ever going to happen.

Flirtationship, is a good thing. It allows you to get to know someone you are interested in and to see if anything can actually work out. But once again, don't take too long. You don't want to give up your chances, but also make sure your heart is in the right place. Good Luck!

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.
