15 Struggles Of 'Talking To Someone' In College
New York Magazine

In the drunken land of college students and dumb decisions, somehow we manage to find "love" along the way. Whether it be for just a night or for years at a time, people are always searching for something of that nature. The worst type of relationship a person could be in is "talking" to someone. This ranges from a consistent booty call to an obsessed and totally in love couple with everything in between. What are the rules of talking? And will trying to define the relationship scare the guy away? It seems like it's always a lose-lose situation, yet it's the most popular form of relationship these days.

Here are 15 times where our search for love and relationships at college has been described perfectly.

1. When you decide you're out on the prowl, ready to find "love."

Break out that special outfit girl, because tonight is about to be a night.

2. You're not good at interacting with them without liquid courage.

*Sees boy* *Chugs*

3. Accidentally getting hit with the feels.

Turn them OFF.

4. When you walk into a room and see him talking closely to another girl.

Fingers crossed his sister you didn't know about is visiting.

5. Seeing them on another girl's Snapchat.

Oh, so that's why they haven't answered my texts all night.

6. Not knowing how to say hello or goodbye.

We've all been there. Hell, half of us were probably there yesterday morning.

7. The concept of exclusivity can be difficult to grasp.

@Every guy I've been with.

8. The times of strength when you decide you don't need a man.

How long does this last usually?

9. Waiting for romantic texts late at night after not hearing from them all day.

Is often substituted with "wya" or "wyd."

10. When you get a drunk invite to a formal and don't know if they remember the next morning.

Do you remind them the next day or hope they ask again?

11. Landing the official invite to their formal.

I'll pretend that I didn't order six dresses online last week for it.

12. Thinking they're the one after they buy you a $1 slice of pizza.

Let's set the bar a little higher here, ladies.

13. Thinking they're the one after they smile at you.

Smiling is a reflex. Again, the bar must be able to go a little higher than this.

14. You're just about to lose hope on them until they send you a Snapchat.

You're back in the game.

15. When he mentions plans in the future.

Bringing up breakfast tomorrow, a party next week, or even a beach day in the summer basically has him begging for commitment.

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.

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.
