They happen to the best of us.

The Love Hate Relationship With Guilty Pleasures

As much as you’d want to deny it, we all love things that sometimes we probably shouldn’t. While in the moment you may be loving it, that next hour or day you definitely have some regrets.

1. Binge Watching Netflix

Yep, we’ve all done. Whether you should be sleeping, studying, or even in class you think to yourself, “I need to watch the next episode” and so... you do.

2. The Sweet Tooth

You’re supposed to be eating healthily this week but when you’re friends want to go get ice cream, you find it hard to refuse.

3. Going Out

It’s a Thursday and you might have a test or paper due the next day, but all your friends are going out and just can’t wait one more night until Friday. FOMO is your biggest fear.

4. Buying Clothes

You already seem to have so many rompers, but you just can’t resist. Even your bank account is telling you no, but you find a way to make it happen. Only to realize once you get home that you already have one very similar.

5. Social Media

Do you really care about 700+ people’s pictures or snap stories that you probably don’t know very well? You tell yourself no but somehow it’s the first thing you find yourself doing every morning... as well as any other free time... or study time.

If you resist these five – congrats, you’re doing better than me. For everyone else, don’t worry, I’m right there with you :-)

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.
