I've always loved the movie, "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." However, if you've seen the absolute classic starring the one and only, Kate Hudson, alongside dreamy Matthew McConaughey, then you know that the plot is kind of whack. Let me set the scene for you—a columnist sets out to catch and then scare off a guy in the span of ten days, and her strategies fall nothing short of odd, to say the least. Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to lay out for you the real ways that you can send him packing.

Day 1: Draw him in

This is the one thing that I agree with in the film, you can't get rid of him if you haven't gotten him yet, right? You can accomplish this in a variety of ways, whatever fits your style. This is the easy part, trust me.


Day 2: Ghost him a little bit

This is where the dirty work really starts. Every advice column under the sun tells girls to not be too clingy to keep a guy, but I have to disagree. It will definitely hurt his precious ego that every minute of your day is not spent thinking about him.

Day 3: Make him share his location

This will at least make him take a step back, it's day three and you need to know where he is at all times? Guys don't like to be ignored, but they also hate too much attention. They also don't know how to make up their minds.


Day 4: Refuse to share your location with him

Guys love double standards until they're caught on the wrong end of one. It will teach him a lesson, for sure.


Day 5: Suddenly share all of the same interests

Genuine common interests are great, but that's only because they're genuine. If you pretend to be someone you're not, he'll see right through it. And he won't be impressed.


Day 6: Stop showering

Save a little dough on shampoo, and advance your diabolical plan in the process.

Day 7: Refuse to hang out with his friends


A guy's friends are like an extension of himself. Saying you hate them is like saying you hate a little part of him, too.

Day 8: Take him shopping

A day at the mall with your guy will be a true test of his strength. Stop in as many Victoria's Secret's, Bath and Body Work's and Sephora's that you can find. And make sure there is absolutely no bench for him to sit on and wait.

Day 9: Spoil the ending

Any movie or TV show that he hasn't finished will do. This could very well be the last straw, you're doing good.


Day 10: Have a karaoke battle to "You're So Vain" and break up at a fancy gala

O.K. this is straight from the movie, but you can just change the ending by actually leaving him in the dust.

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.
