10 ​​Questions You Should Ask On Your Next Date If You Reaaally Want To Get To Know Them

First dates are meant for you to really get to know someone, and see if they're a good fit for you. So, get out there and start asking questions that are really going to let you get to know someone.

1. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Right off the bat, you are going to learn the priorities and goals of this person and decide if this is a person whose goals align with yours.

2. What was your last birthday wish?

This is going to tell you the thing they think that has not been fulfilled in their life.

3. How do you handle your finances?

Obviously you are going to want to know if they are good with their money or not.

4. What do you do in times of stress?

This lets you know what their expectations are of loved ones when they are stressed out.

5. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

This will let you know how well your sleeping habits align.

6. How do you relax after a hard day's work?

You're going to find out if you guys share the same ideas of what is relaxing.

7. How do you like to spend your free time?

This gives you a good idea what future dates might look like.

8. What is your relationship with your parents like?

How they view their relationship with their parents says plenty about how they're going to view their relationship with you.

9. What is your biggest fear?

While not everybody may be comfortable sharing that right off the bat, it does give you some insight and allows your to see the vulnerable side of this person.

10. Who is your biggest influence?

Two words: Core. Values.

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.

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.
