The History Of Wrong Guys

I've been making bad choices since the beginning of time.

The History Of Wrong Guys
SheKnows

I think I have been making bad choices since birth. This one time when I was a kid, I stole a stuffed lion from a store. Another time, I got my leg stuck in a playground set until my mom had to get me. And yet another time, I tried to run away from home because I couldn’t go to the pool on the coldest day of the summer.

Bad choices are kind of my specialty. But as soon as I grew up a little bit and guys came into the mix, bad choices turned into a series of unfortunate events.

This one time, I was “proposed” to during Beyonce’s "Single Ladies" in front of the school. Another time, on my very first date, my mom got so nervous that I was doing something crazy that she tracked my location on my phone not knowing it would let out this awful beeping sound from my phone.

Then later in the night, she invited the same guy in for hot chocolate, not knowing that I completely denied him a kiss at the end of the night. Another time, I set up who I thought was “the love of my life” with another person.

They’re still together, by the way.

Needless to say, I’m not lucky in love.

There’s this song from Kinky Boots called “The History of Wrong Guys” where a girl sings about how she’s been unlucky in love. There's the bum, the guy who’s not into you, the sleaze, the person who likes the girl next door, the guy who likes the boy next door and, of course, the guy who is immature.

Yet, she gets back in the game every time. She nearly goes crazy a few times. But at the end of the day, she decides to go for it again. To be honest, I haven’t listened to the music beyond this point, but I’m sure it works out in the end.

Or if it doesn’t, it’s a nice addition to a set of failures she’ll soon be able to laugh at. Honestly, when it comes to bad choices, that is not the worst punishment in the world.

I mean, after all, nothing can beat the Beyonce thing, right?

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.

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.
