From The Girl Who Is More Focused On School Than Getting A Boyfriend

Having a boyfriend isn't everything.

Love. It’s something that whether they want to admit it or not, everyone wants. Great things come along with it like the butterflies in your stomach when you see them, excitement from trying new things with each other, and the constant learning about one another.

College is an amazing place to meet possible significant other, especially when you’re on a big campus when so many potential people.

That being said, you’re at college for a reason and that’s to do well in your major and start a career when you graduate. I’m not saying that it’s not acceptable to have a significant other, but for me, it’s not at this moment.


Right now, I’m trying to get my GPA up major. I’m also trying to get involved with clubs and events related to my major to network with new people.

On top of that, I’m trying to sort out being able to study abroad. I also have friends that I love to spend my free time with while I can. As much as I would love someone to share my life with, I would either end up hurting my grades or him.

I’m choosing to focus on bettering myself and getting my grades where they need to be so I can be successful. This is important in the long run because in future I’ll need to support myself and possibly a family. I need a great career to be able to do the things I’ve always envisioned myself doing like traveling.

That’s not to say that if a great guy comes along, I’m going to turn him away. It’s just not my main priority at this point in time. I know that he’ll come into my life when he’s meant to. If that happens to be in college, great. If not, I’m not too bothered by it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
