6 Reasons Why Spring Breaking With Your Parents Is Basically Like Going To Cabo With Your Roommates

My Spring Break is about to be so lit! I'm going to Punta Cana for six days with Mom and Dad! If you're taking this as sarcasm, you probably don't know my Mom and Dad. Vacationing with you're parents is really fun though! Here are the top 6 reasons why Spring Breaking with your parents is awesome!

1. Freeeeeeee

Break out your bikini and put away your wallet! Mom and Dad are buying!

2. You get their undivided attention

Mom and Dad love you and actually want to hear you go on and on and on about your friends at school and the parties you've been to and the clubs you've joined. They want to know everything and without your friends or siblings standing in your way the stage is all yours!

3. Quality time

After spending three months straight at school and calling my mom every day to tell her I miss her I'm ready for some one-on-one with Mom and Dad.

4. The food

Since you're not buying on Spring Break: Mom and Dad Edition you might actually get to go somewhere that isn't a fast food drive thru! Which is always a relief to your body after spending so much time eating fried food at school!

5. The fun stuff you can do

You can do fun stuff when you go away with your friends too, but some things are just better with parents. Mom and I went on a booze cruise scuba diving adventure on a pirate ship last year in Aruba and it was the most fun I think I've ever had with that gal!

6. Oh, the places you go

When you're not paying the air fare or the hotel (or anything) your parents get to pick the destination and since they've been around the block once or twice they know the hottest places to go and things to do.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
