The Girl Who Chooses Her Boyfriend Over Her Friends

If you ever read a book about love in your youth you'd probably read that you're supposed to fall in love with your best friend.

Happiness...

"Why are you letting people control who makes you happy or not?"

I am the girl who naturally chooses her boyfriend over her friends probably more than half the time. Such a freaking crime isn't it ladies? I mean you don't even care about them anymore. How dare you!

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

If you ever read a book about love in your youth you'd probably read that you're supposed to fall in love with your best friend. You probably also read that they are supposed to make you laugh, make you feel like you're not faking, and literally make you want to be around them every second you get.

Honestly, if you've never heard that you've been living under a rock for your entire life or you're just too immature to understand that this day and age we're falling in love.

Don't get me wrong, if you haven't found someone you can't see your life without I get it! But, don't shame your friend for wanting to watch a movie with that special person rather than throwing up in the toilet because they took ten too many shots. Don't shame them for choosing a family party over sitting around a table and talking about college and how different you are now than six months ago.

I can almost promise you they care about you still, probably more than you care about them. But, why would someone with a boyfriend want to hang out at a bar and talk men into buying them a drink? Have you ever heard of hypocrites, I can tell you that she'd wouldn't want her boyfriend buying drunk girls drinks.

Stop shaming girls and calling them "weak" because they are in love. Stop wishing they'd just "break up" so you can have your fun partying best friend back. Stop telling them how much they changed because odds are they haven't changed and when the choose to go out they're just as much fun as they were 5 months ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago.

When you are a need, and you need someone to talk to, they are not going to choose the boyfriend over you. Chances are (if she chose the right one) he'd want her there anyway. When you need someone to sit and have a glass of wine with, I promise you she'll be there.

Stop shaming girls who are best friends with their boyfriend.

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.
