College student? Yes. So Netflix and chill has a whole different meaning when you're questioning life by yourself. It involves watching shows or movies with a pint of Ben and Jerry's and being fully content with ignoring the assignments you're supposed to be doing.

You tell yourself, "You definitely need to see Shameless," or "Riverdale is amazing!" and "Orange Is The New Black is great."

Consider yourself basic in a good way if you are watching these. For me, I am watching "Gossip Girl," the god of a basic white girl show. In the series there is this character named Dan and he is a regular student, known as "lonely boy" and an outsider. Dan is also a writer and wants to do that for a living. I'm getting further in the series and stuff is going down. Dan writes a lot more than anyone expected in this time period. He gets so caught up in other peoples' problems that he traps himself in his own relationships. His father tells him to go back and look into his own writing to help him.

Even if you don't happen to write poems or journal entries like Dan's, you still have movies and shows that help like mine. You can solve your own problems by being placed in someone else's shoes. Take one huge example of lines from a classic, "The Notebook," where Noah says, "What do you want? It's not that simple. What do you want?"

You can look back on any movie for advice, most would think anything with Morgan Freeman in it, but there's a lot more. From "Bad Moms," to "The Blind Side,"or "Up," and "The Bucket List." If you wanna go way back, then "It's A Wonderful Life" is great as well. For shows most common to learn there are "That 70s Show," "Orange Is The New Black," "The Office," "Game of Thrones," "Modern Family," and "Seinfeld." You can rewatch any show or movie that you've already seen. Ask yourself why is this my favorite? That will solve your issues in the most interesting ways.

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.
