It's always hard, but it's sometimes necessary.

Relationships don't necessarily have to crash in order to burn out. Sometimes, no one has to be necessarily at fault in order to cause a breakup. No massive fights or serious problems need to be used as ammunition. But, in most cases, breaking up is the right thing to do when these cracks start to show.

1. Their little quirks you used to love are driving you crazy.

Those cute things they do aren't so cute anymore. Now those little habits get on your nerves and foster some deep resentment.

2. You don't really like spending time with them anymore.

You used to be thrilled every time you got a text or call saying they wanted to hang out. Now, you'd rather spend your time doing something else. And when you're with them, it feels like a chore.

3. You no longer make each other a priority.

They're no longer your priority, and you're no longer theirs.

4. The physical aspect of the relationship is gone.

It's normal for the physical component of the relationship to slow down as a relationship progresses. There are certainly ways to revive a dead sex life. But when the sex completely burns out and neither of you really even want to get physical with each other anymore, it might be an indication of deeper problems in the relationship.

5. You fight about everything.

Every little thing turns into an explosive fight or just something to bicker about, and it all feels unsolvable.

6. You're looking for other options.

You might be flirting a little with someone else, or you might be wondering what it would be like to be with someone else. Whether or not this temptation extends beyond your imagination and into action, the thought is there: that you'd rather be with someone else.

7. You don't feel like they support you anymore.

It used to be you and them against the world, but now it seems like they're against you.

8. You're waiting for them to change.

There's something about them that you want them to change. You want them to change their mind about their future goals, change their attitude, or fix emotional issues, but you might have to accept that that's the way that they are. You're not like that, and you shouldn't be willing to accept that.

9. You're only staying because you're afraid to be alone.

You've gotten so used to being in this relationship that you're scared to be without it, even if you're not really into it anymore. It's a convenience to be together, not love.

10. The butterflies are gone.

Simply put: you just don't feel it anymore.

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.
