Stop Thinking, Start Doing

Now is the time to stop planning the perfect situation and go with the flow.

As a girl, I sit here and over analyze every situation I have ever had with a boy. Whether its a pointless interaction in a coffee line, a first date, or the worst breakup I've ever had, I over think every aspect of it.

Girls calculate every situation that could occur and base their decisions on how they think the boy might react. It's something we have mastered and when the boys don't follow the script it either makes us wanna strangle them or push them into the closest closet for a steamy make out.

But what happens when we don't choose the calculated boy, the nice boy who you know would be great and says all the right things? What happens when we choose the boy we haven't given any thought to and we just go with it?

The boy who pisses you off so much you wanna scream but you refuse to give him the time of day to do so. The boy who you know you like but don't put forth the effort to care when he's with another girl.

This is when you become the best you that you can be, this is when a girl has reached the "I know I can find a better you" feeling and man does it feel great.

College is great because its the perfect time for carefree flings, it's a time to tell the hot boy at the party you need another drink or the cute boy in English that you really don't understand and need a tutor. (We all know you get it far better than he does, hell your an English major.)

Now is the time to stop planning for the perfect situations and go with what happens in your life. So instead of taking your love life by the reins, just ride freely for a while.

Don't go searching for the perfect boy, with the perfect future, who would make the perfect dad because, in all honesty, a ring on your left hand in the next five years scares the hell out of you.

Go for the boy you think you don't have a chance with and see what happens. Because in the end, it doesn't matter if he was Mr.Right or Mr.Wrong at least you shot your shot.

Todays the day you stop thinking and start doing. Go for the gold baby.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
