17 Things All High School Sweethearts Can Relate to
Selby Proctor

I've been with my boyfriend since my sophomore year and his junior year of high school. We initially were one another's wingman and well, the rest is history. With high school comes bad fashion, embarrassing photos, and finding out where you belong in the world. But thankfully we've been able to survive all of the above and even more, woohoo! Hopefully, this article will give you and your person a little bit of nostalgia and bring back some of your favorite memories.

1. You've survived each other experimenting with new looks.

I'm guilty of changing my style every 6 months or so, thank you for dealing with that, JP.

2. You have reached a point of slowly turning into the same human.

You both love the same music, food, movie genres, and even the same sweatpants.

3. Christmas, birthday, and anniversary present ideas are dwindling.

You've given each other one of every cute present idea you can think of. No, you don't need any more personalized coupon books or bottles of perfume.

4. You no longer have to beat around the bush when you're upset.

You don't have to play any games to have them figure out you're upset. You can look them dead in the eye and let them know you're pissed.

5. You have seen one another in their ugliest form.

Whether it's after a workout or a long nights sleep, you've been spotted looking like a -4 and they still love you.

6. You have finally embraced your partner being a bad dancer.

No, he can't clap to the beat, but he does look cute trying.

7. Date nights are usually a little less extravagant.

If the night doesn't consist of fast food and you stay up past 9:30 p.m., it's a success.

8. You're always willing to help each other out financially.

Sometimes pay day is a little too far away and your grocery list is a little too long

9. Recreating old photos.

Remember that one picture from senior year that you had as your screensaver for months on end? It could be even BETTER now

10. Lazy days are just better together.

You can binge watch your favorite shows while only getting up to get more food.

11. You gossip more with each other than with your friends.

You share everything with each other anyways, gossip just comes with the territory.

12. You are each other's hype man ALWAYS.

If you're not letting one another know how good they look before going somewhere, then what are you doing?

13. You are the parents of your friend group.

You two always have the beach bag packed with extra towels and sunscreen for everyone.

14. You speak your own language.

It can be a specific look or understanding the other with a mouth full of food. Either way, it's talent.

15. Sometimes you're that annoying, mushy couple...

Everyone has their sentimental, lovey-dovey days.

16. Other times you're over it.

Annoyance comes with too much time spent together, or maybe you're just hangry.

17. But no matter what, they are your person for a reason.

Life just wouldn't be the same without them

Loving the same person since you were 16 is such a crazy feeling. All of your memories, big life moments, and everything in between are shared with your favorite human. You've grown into the adults you are today right alongside them. I'm so thankful to have found someone I love more than I could imagine, and I can't wait for the fun times to come.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
