The 9 (of many) People That Makes Indiana Home

I wouldn't have made it this far without them.

Ahhhhh College, the coveted time that is considered to be the “best four years of your life”. Well whoever said that pretty much nailed it right? I recently rounded out my sophomore year at Indiana University, and I already know that these are the years. These are the years that you grow as a person and learn a hell of a lot about yourself that you didn't know before. You learn to love your peaks, grow from your valleys, and meet those people who help you find you.

Luckily enough I think that I found those people. Some people can say that the friends they had in high school are the ones that will be there forever. Don't get me wrong I love my hometown homies and I know that they will always be there however, there’s something different about my friends at school. Being 12 hours and 810 miles from home, I don't know if I would have made it without them. College can be tough, and although no one writes a book on how to do it the right way, these girls have been there to help me figure it out. Although we have only know each other for a little over a year, I feel like I can see a little part of me in them, and they have each given me a better understanding of who I am as a person.

  • If it weren’t for Meg, I would still probably care way too much about what other people thought about me.
  • If it weren't for Molly, I wouldn’t understand that yes, you can find a way to celebrate both peaks and valleys.
  • If it weren’t for Caruso, I would still have a terrible sense of humor and probably never understand the importance of a hug (she hates hugs, so they are special).
  • If I had never met Sabo, I would have never known how to be truly independent.
  • If I had never met Moody, I never would have known what a confident and empowering woman looked like.
  • If it weren’t for Maggie, I probably would have shed a couple more tears over someone who wasn't worth it.
  • If it weren’t for Holly, I would have never known how to be confident in whom I am as a person.
  • If it weren’t for Abby’s wittiness I would probably still be attempting to make people laugh, and failing drastically (again, still working on it).
  • If it weren’t for Sydney’s compassion and composure, I never would have known what it meant to truly stand up for myself.

As cheesy as that all is, it couldn't be more true. As we all start our summer adventures it’ll be hard for me to stay away from these nine girls for more than a week, let alone four months. Thank you for being there for me when I needed it most, and loving me when I was down. Here’s to the last two years left in "the best 4 years of our lives!"

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.

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.
