Forget Baby Fever, I Have Buying A House And Decorating It Fever

I will live in a fairytale house.

Forget Baby Fever, I Have Buying A House And Decorating It Fever
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottstown,_Pennsylvania#/media/File:CoventryHouse_PA.jpg

Now that I am older and approaching that time where I will soon be moving out of my parents' house, I have started thinking about what kind of house I want to live in and how I want to decorate it.

I am excited to start this next chapter in my life by moving in with my boyfriend. We probably won't live in a house first, but I'm still excited to move to a place that we can call ours. After watching hours and hours of HGTV shows like Fixer Upper and House Hunters, all I want to do is remodel and decorate!

My perfect house would be something with lots of character, that's private and has a decent size yard. I would love a white kitchen with a farmhouse sink that's also open to the living room. At least 3 bedrooms. I'm definitely going to need a walk in closet. A room dedicated to gaming and other nerdy things and maybe even a little library. I love French doors and archways too. I want something that has a cottage feel to it or like it's out of a fairytale. Oh, and there has to be shiplap! I love shiplap.

Don't get me wrong, babies are cute. They are our future and I hope to have a family someday. But I'm more looking forward to buying a house and moving in with the love of my life. A baby will come much later after that anyway. Children are a lot of work and obviously a huge responsibility. Raising a child to become a decent human being is a hard task. I have too much anxiety and worry over raising a kid, that it kind of makes them less cute.

It's pretty funny how my reaction to babies is much different than others people's reactions. I'd say that people's level of excitement when seeing a baby is the same as when I see a dog. So I guess this means I should just have puppy children. And they will help me decorate my future home.

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.

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.
