Don't Let Boys Make You Sad, Step Up And Own Your Worth
Taylor Fabian

Have you ever sat on your phone, curious about what you did wrong? Did you do something wrong?

Let me tell you, you are totally overthinking it. He is probably just busy. But if someone truly cares for you they will make time for you. They will go the extra mile to ask you how your day is. They will text or call saying they miss you. They will make plans with you even if that means sitting in silence while doing homework. If they do not make time for you, they don't really care and that is something you need to accept. They might care, and probably do, but you deserve more, you deserve better, you deserve someone who will go to the ends of the earth for you.

Saying goodbye to a boy or a significant other that you can not imagine your life without can be one of the hardest struggles to go through, but I am here to tell you that you are more than that, you have more worth being yourself and being on your own than thinking a boy defines you or that being in a relationship will give you more "worth." It won't.

Being a woman in society today can be challenging feeling as you need to live up to societies stereotypes and expectations, especially to feel like you fit in and that is how you get someone to like you. But the person who is meant to be with you, they will love you undoubtedly for who you are, not who you want to be or the false image of who you are pretending to be and live up to.

Boys have too much control over our minds and end up consuming our thoughts until it is all we think about. We give them to much power over us and it is time to take that power back. What we — what women — should be thinking about ourselves and what we can do to be happy and our best versions in our lifetime.

DO what makes you happy.

DO what makes you feel empowered.

It's time to be who we have always meant to be and show men and others that we are not controlled by them and that we are, indeed, a force to be reckoned with.

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.

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.
