You haven't just heard it once, but you've heard it a million times. So called "cuffing season" is upon us, and suddenly everyone is freaking out over being single the closer we get to the holiday season. Instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself, think about all the things you need instead of a boyfriend.

A good night's sleep

A hydroflask

A new planner

A vacation

A Sex And The City Marathon

A new pair of shoes

A snack

Pizza

A face mask party

 A night hanging out with your friends in pajamas

 Brunch

 To start keeping a journal

 A whole box of your favorite chocolate

 A spa-like bath

 Herbal Tea

New lipstick

 A date with your mom

 To play your music as loud as possible

 Ben & Jerrys

 A Mexican food themed night

Giphy

 A nap

 To dance around in your room

 A new Pinterest board

 A new hair do

 A body pillow

 Another credit card

 A scented candle

 Wine

 To live your life

 To have fun

The ability to not have to share food

 A date night with yourself

 A cute mug

 A picnic

 Taco Tuesday

 A stroll through Target

 To go to a farmer's market

 A new book to read

 A savings account

 To go on a walk

 Concert Tickets

 Birkenstocks

 To rearrange your room

 To purge your closet

 A budget plan

To go grocery shopping

 To take up yoga

 To try new cuisines

 A throwback playlist 

 The confidence to not depend on someone for happiness 

Instead of freaking out as the weather gets cooler, think about the more important things you need than that guy who won't text you back.

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.

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.
