11 Steps To Getting Over Him

After going through a recent breakup, I decided to make a list on what I did following it. My friend told me not to post this because I mainly say crying, but that was pretty much what I did 70% of the time.

1. Cry

That will probably be your first instinct. You will most likely cry. Especially if it’s a two and a half year relationship.

2. Spend as much as you can in bed

I’m only saying ‘can’ because I really wanted to stay in bed but could not. I had classes to get to and group projects to work on. All I really wanted to do though was stay in bed.

3. More crying

I can’t stop crying if I’m being honest.

4. Maybe being cliche and eating ice cream

Nothing wrong with being a total cliche. Ice cream is good.

5. Crying again

Are you surprised?

6. Thinking how much you suck

This might occur once or a few times. You will think that it was your fault, you’re the reason this relationship didn’t work. What did you do to have it not work?

7. Thinking you probably don't suck as much as you think

But then you realize that no. It is not your fault. You were not the reason.

8. Take a break and go away

I’m only saying this because I was fortunate enough that I was already going to Mexico that weekend. Going away and being with family is just what I needed. And it might be what you need too.

9. Crying once again

Are you surprised, again?

10. Finish up that crying

There might be a little left that you need to let out, and that’s okay.

11. Start feeling better

At one point, you know you will. It might not be today, tomorrow, and it might take a while. But you will.

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.
