Dear Pooh Bear,

If there is something that has been constant throughout my entire life, it has been you. You were there when I took my first breath, took my first steps, made my first friend, and began my new life at college. When I was younger, you were always there to make me feel safe when I slept. Now, 20 years later, you still do the same. You have never left my side, and I don't think you ever will. With so much constant change in the past 20 years of my life, the reassurance of having you has made it so much easier for me to adjust each and every time. Plus, you know how much I love change (NOT)!

When people left my life, you never did. You may not be a real, breathing bear, but you might as well be. When I'm alone in my room, I talk to you about how I feel and what is stressing me out. And the best part? You don't answer back. So I can ramble off to you with no consequences! You know more about me than anyone on this planet, really. And the best part is that you will always keep what I share to yourself.

Thank you for being a constant in my everyday life. I know that when I come home from a long day of classes or a long day at work, I can always curl up in my bed with you and watch a show on Netflix. You bring a sense of my childhood wherever you accompany me. Thank you for keeping all those memories. When I look at you, I remember all the trips I have brought you on. You are well-traveled, that's for sure. From Mexico to France, you have been to all the magical places that I have been to. You hold all the memories that I have made with my family and friends, and I know you will never lose them for me (you're a pretty great memory keeper).

Thank you for being there for me and for continuing to be my source of comfort for the years to come. My future husband will have to come to terms with the fact that you will be a habitual object sitting on our bed each night. However, I will eventually pass you on to my own children so that they can make new memories of their own with you. You will be passed on from generation to generation.

Love,

Your Original Loving Owner

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
