I Spend Too Much Time With My Boyfriend

And I'm OK with that.

People act different in relationships. So why should my relationship be your business? Yes, I spend less time with my friends, and I drag my boyfriend to family outings and vacations, but why is this a problem to you? If you truly care about me as a person, you should be happy that I found my better half and I'm not crying every night over high hopes that were smashed by a boy who never deserved me.

As a woman in her 20s, I am going to be thinking about my future. My diploma, that empty space on my left ring finger, if I want babies or puppies, or if I will ever have my own family. Sure, this is young, but at this point in my life, I can see a future with this man I call my boyfriend. In other words, why would I not spend every possible second with him? My heart has never been so full, and my smile has never been so big. So why is this a big deal?

He won't throw me to the side like my so called friends would. I can trust him with all of my heart to not go to his friends spilling all of my dirt, even though I spill my own secrets. I don't have to act different around him, because I know he loves me for me, not my great essay writing skills or my closet.

Sure, if we fight I am going to turn to my friends to cry on their laps, but those are my true friends. Those are the friends that let me spend my life with someone who is so important to me without a complaint. Those are the friends that somebody may be standing next to me on my special day. These friends are the ones who actually take time to get to know my boyfriend, not just that simple blow off hi.

He has fixed all of my insecurities that I had when I was surrounded by the hungry eyes of immature college boys, notice how I say boys. These insecurities can't be solved by my girlfriends, because they can't express love like he does. These insecurities grew over time, and with one look he makes them disappear, he makes me myself again. Why is this a problem to you?

Yes, I would rather be on the couch with him than going out every night with drunken idiots on a week night, even a weekend. I don't have to impress anyone but him, so why would I go out in a frat house surrounded by gross minded low lives, when I could be in the arms of the man I love? Sure, girls nights are needed, but I don't need to dress up with red lipstick and high heels to feel good anymore. I have my boyfriend's trust in me to have fun and be safe without any trouble, and that is all I need.

So yes, I do spend way too much time with my boyfriend. And yes, I hear your complaints of being distracted by him, and no I don't care. He makes me happy, I love him and I wouldn't spend my time any other way. A relationship needs 100 percent of love and attention, and I am giving this my all. I am planning that my future is going to be with him, so why not act like it?

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.
