Fall in love with the person you cannot stop talking to. That someone who keeps you up past your bed time because all you want to do is get to know every little think about them, from their family to their hobbies to their past.

Fall in love with the personwho gets lost in your eyes because your beauty is mesmerizing. Because you are the definition of perfect to them in a world that is so imperfect.

Fall in love with the person who you feel like you've known your whole life, but wish you would have met sooner. The person who keeps you smiling from ear to ear.

Fall in love with the person who refuses to say goodbye to you because it will be days until you see them again. The person who's "hello" kisses, "goodbye" kisses and every kiss in between electrify your body.

Fall in love with the person who wants to know every nook and cranny about you. The person who sees every scar, every insecurity, every hardship, that makes you independent, loving, unique, but most importantly, beautiful.

Fall in love with the person who will drive all the way to your house to make sure you're okay even when you say you're okay, as you smile through the pain to remain positive.

Fall in love with the person who is loyal to you. The person who is not only true to you, but true to themselves.

Fall in love with the person who falls in love with your family. The person who brings your mom flowers and shakes you dad's hand with assertiveness--assertive that they are the one and only person for you.

Fall in love with the person who loves when you snort as you laugh. Because in their eyes, they think you are absolutely beautiful, no matter what.

Fall in love with the person who isn't afraid of commitment. The person who will bend over backwards for you.

Fall in love with the person who knows you like a book. The person who can name your favorite foods and top 5 songs because they're invested in learning every aspect of you.

Fall in love with the person who won't go to bed until you text them saying you got home safely, because you are their world.

Fall in love with the person who will love you at your worse--makeup running from the hot tears streaming down your face.

Fall in love with the person who looks at you with a deep, undying passion. The person who believes they are the luckiest person on Earth because they have you.

Fall in love with the person who you'll fight with and make up with because you can't stay mad at each other.

Fall in love with the person who respects you, cherishes you, and loves you for you. Because you are one-of-a-kind and deserved to be treated that way.

Fall in love with the person who protects you from the evil in this world. The person who will wrap their arms around you, and you feel their warmth.

Fall in love with the person who will sing and dance with you to your weird music obsessions because you are different in their eyes. A different they couldn't bear to lose.

Fall in love with the person who you never want to lose. The person who's your rock.

Fall in love with the person who will not only be your spouse but your best friend, your partner in crime...

Your better half.

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.
