This might be a fact that some of us have to learn the hard way; I personally know that I did: Boyfriends will come and go, as they should when you are young and in high school. But the truth is this is the oldest you have ever been, but also the youngest you will ever be. Spend your time hanging out with your friends, making new friends, going to parties, having slumber parties, and just being social.

I have always heard your friends change in high school, and now as a high school senior, I can definitely confirm that this is true!!!

Of course, I still do and always will have those few golden friends that have been with me forever, but along the way I have gained some truly wonderful new friends I am blessed to have in my life. Some of them go to other schools, some of them live very close to me, but all of them are extremely special to me, and I almost missed the opportunity to meet them because I was in a relationship.

No, I’m not saying don’t have a boyfriend.

Having a relationship in high school can be a truly wonderful thing, some of my very best memories from high school were made during a relationship I was in, but it is much too easy to become overwhelmed in your relationship that you miss out on time and events with your friends. Finding that happy mediumof being happy in your relationship, while also keeping your friends close and being social enough to make more friends is the secret!

Sure we might all be about to split up for college, but having a plan to stay connected is important!

College is fast approaching and as bittersweet, as that is, the saddest part of all is that you are leaving your best friends. Although we still have one semester and summer left before we have to say our goodbyes, my friend group already has planned exactly when we will visit each other throughout the next four years! I am excited to make even more friends as I enter college in the fall, but I also look forward to sharing many of my college experiences with my old golden friends! I can’t wait for my very special wedding day in the future when I stand at the altar surrounded by the very best friends a girl could ever ask for!

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.
