4 Pieces Of Birthday Advice For My Boyfriend
Skyler Waugh

Congratulations, you finally made it. The transition to nineteen doesn't seem that relevant or monumental, but it is. You can trust me on this, I'm older and wiser, even if it's only by two months and a day. This is the year after that stage of "becoming an adult" but yet everyone is still skeptical on the idea. You know what I mean, that time when you say that since you're an adult you can get that belly button piercing you really want and somehow people always talk you out of it. Now that you're 19, you've got a year of independence and adulting under your belt that adds to your credibility. Here are 4 more arguments that help prove my point:

1. Maybe you'll finally make it to the adult table on holidays

Hopefully? If you're lucky?

2. Now that you're 19, you can do some legal things in some states?

I'm not sure what corresponds with where but you're 19, you can figure it out.

3. You can give advice to all the 18 year olds out there

"Back when I was your age..."

4. You've never looked better

You can also trust me on this. After being your best friend since 2nd grade and girlfriend since our sophomore year of high school, I can honestly say I've seen it all. Even through the braces and awkward school dances.

So I say, raise a glass of sparkling grape juice (because it's still illegal in this state) to your 19th birthday. I'm so happy I get to spend another great year with you.

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.
