To The Girl That Has Never Had A Boyfriend, Guess What

It is NOT the end of the world.

Girl, I’m right there with you.

As a sophomore in college coming up on her 20th rotation around the sun, many of my family members seem more and more interested in my social/love life. I constantly get asked if I am dating anybody and if I am interested in anyone. The truth is though, I’ve never actually been in a relationship.

To many people, they find this part of me quite shocking. Maybe it’s because I’m almost 20 years old or maybe it’s because it’s something they weren’t really expecting. After I reveal this part of myself, others will start to ask me questions like “Why don’t you have one?” or “Don’t you want one?” or my favorite, “Do you ever get lonely?”

To be quite honest with you, I don’t know. I don’t really have an answer to these questions because I’ve never given them much thought. I want to be known as someone other than “that girl that has never dated anyone.”

Having a boyfriend must be nice I suppose, but of course, I wouldn’t know what it’s like. But like I tell my family, having a significant other isn’t the most important thing in the world. Yes, I get lonely sometimes, yes I would like to have one, but, the perfect man will come around eventually.

So, to my ladies that have never had a boyfriend, it is not the end of the world. Your prince charming is out there. Focus on yourself in the meantime. Having someone by your side isn’t what defines you or makes you successful. Surround yourself with a great group of friends and your loving family. A man will walk into your life eventually. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe, you just haven’t met someone worthy of your love just yet.

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.
