It's finally September which means it's officially International Women's Friendship Month!

International Women's Friendship Month was created by Kappa Delta Sorority to encourage women to remember the important roles our friends play in our lives. So clear your calendars, ladies, because we're about to spend 30 straight days celebrating our girl gangs!

To kick off the month I'd like to share some love with my number one girls, so here's a "thanks" to the gals that get me through.

Thank you for...

Making me laugh.

Loving me unconditionally.

Telling me that everything's going to be okay, and staying with me until it is.

Being the reason I smile.

Building my confidence.

Supporting me.

Being a positive influence.

Helping me.

Checking in on me.

Listening to all of Taylor Swifts albums over and over again with me.

Always spilling the tea.

Telling me the truth, even when I don't want to hear it.

Genuinely wanting the best for me.

Watching Christmas movies year-round with me.

Listening to my overdramatic stories.

Hugging me when you know I need it.

Being the person I want to celebrate with.

Singing along to both Mamma Mia soundtracks with me.

Forgiving me.

Welcoming me into your home.

Being a shoulder to cry on.

Being my friend & my family.

I'm so fortunate to have such strong, encouraging, beautiful women in my life that build me up and make me want to be the best version of myself every day.

I'm incredibly grateful for the friendships in my life because each one has taught me something new about myself, and each one has taught me how to be a better friend.

So, send your go-to girls some extra love this month because they absolutely deserve it!

Happy International Women's Friendship Month!

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:

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.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

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.
