Everyone left and right will tell you, "bid your time, you're young, you have your whole life ahead of you". When you hear this, your mind kinda triggers into maybe thinking they are right or maybe there is a reason they are telling you this. In that moment when they tell you...you flip flop. You have never flipped flopped before but suddenly now you do.

Don't listen to anyone, no one, just listen to yourself and your heart, mind. This is about you & your significant other no one else. The day of your wedding you won't be remembering the child's boss that told you're too young to marry as you say your vows to them. It is between you two.

Yes, I am 21 and all i can ever think about is the day I walk down the aisle to his face and just say the words "I do.". People think I am crazy to not just think about my future with him but actually talk about it as well. It relaxes us. It gives us hope, it gives us a way of dreaming awake together for our future. So in the kindest way possible, I wish to just tell anyone who believes marrying too young, too old, exists...just stop.

This is not your relationship. This is not your life that you so called like to state, "screw up". So what? Let me "screw up" according to you, because according to me, it's a privilege.

Imagine, starting out at the young bright shiny age of 19 years of age with your best friend, the love of your life that you did not know yet would become the love of your life. Then, you turn 21 and you're finally able to have your first LEGAL drink with each other. Next milestone, you're 25 and you have been married for two years now and thinking about starting your family. 30 years old now and you both have your careers with a nanny to help every now and then, life is at its fullest and you think back that you just started at 19.

What if you didn't take that leap of love at that age? You wouldn't be able to see the milestones in age and maturity from the lowest level to now adults and deciding if that promotion at work is really what you want. You got the opportunity to witness a teenager become into an adult and learn how to become a spouse, parent, and to be able to obtain their dream come true.

Be young. Be young to marry so you have the rest of your life to figure out your journey with them and where you want to reside in. There is no wrong or right time to marry it is based on you two and something personal. Do not let anyone else talk you out of your adventurous and bold choices.

Started at 19...

Now at 21

& counting...

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.

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.
