In high school, you have the jocks, the nerds, the hipsters, the mean girls, the popular kids, the trouble makers, the over achievers, the under achievers, the goody-two-shoes, and the theater geeks.

In college, you just have college students. College is great and here are 10 reasons why...

1. You get to make your own schedule

Don't want to have class on Friday? You can do that!

2. You're in class an average of 16 hours per week (as opposed to 35).

Seriously...how did I sit in a classroom for that long?

3. There is no dress code.

Oh my gosh.. your shoulders are showing?!?! no one cares...

4. You get to live with your friends.

It's like a sleepover every single night!

5. You can get ice cream at midnight without having to ask your mom if you can leave the house.

...woohoo for freedom!

6. You can take naps in the middle of the day.


Although, studying would be the more responsible thing to do.

7. No one cares if you wear makeup or not.

I woke up like this.

8. Professors are really chill.

Sometimes they don't even show up for class.

9. There is always free food somewhere on campus.

I can have a slice of pizza if I join your club?....sign me up!

10. There is always something to do.

Intramural games, campus ministries, live music, karaoke night, trivia, etc. There is no excuse to be bored at college.

So, enjoy it while it lasts!

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.

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.
