Boys are dumb

Stupid

Smelly

Gross

Slimy

In a society that praises a gentleman but craves a bad boy, it's hard to see the difference

Until it's too late

It's difficult to find a gentleman

A perfect fit

A best friend

A prince in today's world, but "they're definitely out there, you're just not looking hard enough"

So we princesses are told to wander

To search

To look desperately for this magical feeling, this spark of magic

And we're told to kiss

And kiss

And kiss

And kiss

And kiss all these frogs, but why are we told that kissing these frogs will help us find our prince

Because the reality is that if you kiss a frog, it will stay dumb

And stupid

And smelly

And gross

And slimy

It's about time the princes stopped pretending to be frogs

If pretending is what we can call it

Because we're tired of always being your princess

Your damsel

Your "savior"

Your property because we might want to be saved too

Or maybe not

Because maybe we know that if we wait for these dumb

Stupid

Smelly

Gross

Slimy guys try to save us, that they'll treat US like the frog

But we're not

And it's about time that we stop kissing these jerks

Liars

Cheats

Assholes

Playboys

Frogs

Boys

Because we princesses have our own country to run

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?

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.
