Ring before Spring is a real thing and you don't realize that until you enter college.

All of the sudden all of your friends will be in relationships, then getting engaged, and then married - All within the same year. Some relationships you might agree with, some you might hate, but nevertheless, college is the place to meet your spouse and get married. Regardless if it lasts or not.

Here are some things that tend to happen when your best friends get married at a young age.

1. They use the pronoun "we" a LOT.

"'We' are doing great."

"'We' would love to."

"'We' just love to go hiking."

"'We' are worried about..."

If you listen for it, you will always hear it.

2. They post pictures of each other, and ONLY of each other.

This also includes the cheesy captions such as:

"Life with you is a dream come true ."

"Through ups & downs, you are and always will be my rock. "

3. They talk all about their sexual activities.

Thanks for telling me that. I wouldn't know. But yeah.

4. They start hanging out with other married couples.

Double date night is a real thing, that's exclusive to the married only.

5. "I will have to ask my husband/wife."

I get it that it's important to have good communication with your significant other, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.

6. No more carelessly spending money.

When you're married young, you have to share all costs. And when you are a college student, working at a college level job, chances are you aren't quite racking in the dough at the moment. Shopping trip money is probably being used as money to pay the bills and groceries.

7. No more spontaneous trips.

Remember when you and your best friends decided to randomly go on a road trip up the west coast? And you guys camped out on the beach and ate ice cream and laughed about life and love? Can't quite do that anymore with a spouse at home. Trips are now strategically planned and financially thought out.

8. Kids are now a possibility.

It's always just lingering there... on the table. It's not an if but a when.

9. A pet enters the picture.

It's like an automatic response to getting married. Usually, it's a dog or cat but the concept stays the same. It's almost a rite of passage to marriage.

10. They try to set you up.

"I just want you to be happy like we are..." they always say as they tell you they set you up with a friend of a friend of a friend of her husband.

11. You want to get married.

A forever sleepover with the love of your life? Sign me up. Just let me know where I can find one... maybe Amazon?

In all fairness though, it's a beautiful thing to see your best friend get married (as long as you like their significant other). It's exciting to see them start a whole new chapter in their lives and even though a few of those things I mentioned above may happen, your friendship will never go away.

Plus, you get some ideas of what to do and what not to do for your future wedding. Learn by trial and error amirite?

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

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.
