The title of band girlfriend is not an easy one to hold, it is both a demanding yet rewarding title. Being in a relationship with a band member means you date the whole band, whether you like it or not. It means there will be arguments when they have to share their time between you and the band. Touring managers will relentlessly get on your nerves and those rock star attitudes can sometimes drive you all kinds of crazy. Show day stress can be never ending and absolutely crazy. You may be totally exhausted, napping in the back seat and living off after show pizza and stuck behind the merch table but when you get to see the people you love the most up on stage doing what they love to do will never get old. Here's 15 things all of us in band relationships can relate to.

1. You never expect to talk to them at a show, ever.

They’re always off networking or fangirling over the band they are playing with. They’ll forget you exist until they need to find out where something is.

2. You’re *always* stuck behind the merch table.

Welcome to your new favorite spot. You’re now stuck here.

3. You own every single piece of merchandise that they sell.

If they sell five t-shirts, you own all of them.

4. Their band has become your family.

Game night? Road trip? Beach vacation? Warped Tour? All of the above. You do it together and honestly; you never get tired of them.

5. Show days are about as stressful as taking your finals.

Do you have everything? Will you get kicked out of this venue too? Stress. Stress. And more stress.

6. Pizza and Denny’s goes hand in hand with dating a band member.

Yummmmm. Those waffles and cheap pizza joints are everything.

7.Earplugs will become your very best friend when you’ve got three shows in a row and that headache just won’t go away.

8. Two words. Touring sucks.

You’ll never stop missing them and them leaving will never get easier.

9. Their music will always be thing you share the most.

Gotta promote your babes and their gorgeous selves.

10. You know how to pack up your SO’s instrument.

And if you’ve been together long enough they might actually let you...

11. They are the most attractive to you when they’re on stage, they always will be.

12. You’ll start to love music almost as much as they do.

13. There is nothing like those sweaty post set hugs.

Something about them just makes you feel oh so loved.

14. You know how much it sucks to have a show hangover.

All that fun you had is now over and its back to reality, until next time. Forever wishing they’ll become famous so you can sleep in and spend the day in your bath robe.

15. Seeing them play is the absolute best feeling in the world.

Front row, wearing their shirt. That’s where you’ll always be found. Supporting them one day at a time.

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.
