9 Essentials to Making it Love at First Shack

Supposedly love at first sight is something that actually happens to people. You see a potential significant other across from you at the bar, during a meeting, or in passing on the street and it hits you. An immediate sensation of love overwhelms your being, your knees cave and you realize this sensation is love at first sight. Although I've never personally experienced this phenomenon, (besides with Taylor Kitsch aka Tim Riggins) some people truly believe in its possibility. However, on college campuses this idea of love at first sight seems rather far off. After a Thursday night out, your hope for love is overwhelmed by a whiskey coke and the potential significant other who bought it for you. Forgetting your dreams of love at first sight, you realize that love at first shack may be the next best alternative.

The spontaneous shacking sleepover can start and end in many ways. However for love at first shack, to truly hit a home run it seems as though these things nine things must happen.

1. Eye Contact.

This is the beginning. You catch a look from across the bar or on the dance floor. You think this could be it; it could be love at first shack.

2. Chatting.

The continued eye contact has led to a conversation. Although the bar isn't the ideal location, you make due with only hearing every other word.

3. Drinks.

The chatting has continued and progressed into drink buying. Maybe you casually sip a few together, ice out a couple, or pour a round of shots. You've both acknowledged a mutual interest in one another.

4. Dancing.

Time to get your groove on. Bust out the moves. Obviously the drinks will have your confidence skyrocketing, so definitely break it down.

5. Food Time.

The best part of the evening. Pizza? Yes. Tacos? Yes. Both? Yes.

6. Shack Outfit.

It's bedtime and if you are forced to sleep in your "going out clothes", the hope for love at first shack is completely shattered. But if you manage to get a cozy shirt and shorts, you're golden.

7. Comfy Sleeping Spot.

The only spot that constitutes comfy is the bed. But if you to to sleep on the futon, there;s a chance your back won't be completely messed up in the morning.

8. Ride Home.

Nothing is worse than walking home after waking up in a bed that's not your own. If you're offered a ride, the feelings should start creeping in. Love at first shack is in the air.

9. Sober Text.

Nailed it! Love at first shack.

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.
