It's Time To Get That Tattoo You've Been Wanting

Stop waiting around for the perfect reason for a tattoo.

Stop looking at Pinterest and creating a board on all of the tattoos that you like and would maybeone day get. I had that board too; I still have that board, but it's time to do something with it. Go find a reputable tattoo artist and ask them to design something based off of your interests. I can almost guarantee that you will like the first design or the changes they'll make to it.

But you're not ready for a tattoo! You don't have one that you know that you will absolutely still love in 20+ years! How can you get one if you aren't sure? You will never be sure that you will love your tattoo forever. You might not love it down the line, I know I don't love all of my tattoos, but they still tell a story about where you were as a person at that time. That should be enough. Being able to look back at who you were should be enough to get you over that fear, not the idea of coverups or removal.

Getting a tattoo is one of the easiest ways you can face your fears. I personally hate needles, but tattoos are nothing like the needles that I'm used to- I'm looking at you, blood donation needles. For anyone who shares my fear of needles, trust me, this is the least terrifying thing you could do. I know you could donate blood (and you should!) but maybe start with getting a small tattoo first. It's what I did, and I fell in love with tattoos. Sadly I can't help you with any other fears. You're on your own trying to face your fear of spiders.

"You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way." -Jennifer J Freeman

Freeman is right, you deserve to stop standing in your way. Get a beautiful tattoo and fall in love with it.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
