My Relationship Started With A Ring

Let me get sappy just this one time.

It is coming up to my boyfriend and my's one year anniversary. The year moved fast, faster than we actually realized. We've been on so many adventures, ate so much food (we like to cook together) and have seen a countless number of movies.

All of this really started with a ring.

My boyfriend and I knew each other before we started dating. I would not say we were super close friends, but we knew each other existed because we were both in the Anime Club on our campus. Over the summer of 2017, I came back down to my apartment to check on some things (I travel to my parents in the summer to work). Some friends were planning a birthday party for someone and invited me.

He happened to be there. We bonded over Steven Universe and he kept showing me different videos. At one point he started playing with my ring. It happens to be a D20 dice ring that spins. It was that moment that I thought of what would happen if I pursued him. He messed with that ring throughout the night until I left around three in the morning.

After I returned home to my parents, I thought about it and sent a message to see if he would return it. Luckily, a new Steven Universe episode came out and could use that as an excuse. Sure enough, he returned it. From there, we messaged back and forth for some time and at some point, we started dating.

Neither of us knows when we started dating, just that it is most likely towards the end of July/beginning of August. We never officially asked each other to be official. It just...happened. It was a natural transition for us to move towards.

I was actually not looking for a relationship at the time. And I honestly think some of the best relationships occur when you are not looking. Stop stressing over when you will find your next boyfriend, girlfriend, partner. Discover yourself, learn what makes you happy, upset, what you love, what you hate. At that point, you will find someone who clicks 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.

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.
