Weekends are extremely important to college students. It's the only time they can leave behind the books, assignments, part time jobs, essays and responsibilities, and pick up a handle of vodka instead. Getting drunk every weekend isn't the only way we have fun though, sometimes we need to switch things up.

Here are the three weekends college students have:

1. The “oh my god how did I get home, I did WHAT last night?” weekend

We have all had this weekend, probably more then we want to admit. This weekend starts off innocently enough. You probably didn’t even mean to drink that much, but one thing lead to another and you drank almost a whole bottle of Jameson – by yourself. This weekend is often accompanied with not remembering how you got home, what you said or did and texting your friends the next day to piece together what actually happened. Bonus points if you don’t drunk text an ex at some point or lose your wallet/phone/keys/ID.

2. The "I'm the designated driver and life sucks" weekend

You got roped into being the DD for the night. You are surrounded by drunk people and you seem to be the only sober one in the entire bar, although this has its benefits. Hearing the ridiculous things you friend say, and possibly catching them on video, is all the reward you need for agreeing to drive. You play mother at the end of the night and make sure everybody gets home safe, drinks water and doesn’t lose anything. Not the most exciting night, but necessary sometimes. Your wallet thanks you for these kinds of weekends.

3. The "I'm staying in and watching Netflix all night" weekend

This is arguably the best kind of weekend. You get in your comfiest sweats, order some Chinese takeout and binge watch your favorite show. This can be done with or without a cuddle buddy, who also can be your pet dog. No shame. You sleep like a baby that night, knowing you didn’t spend any money on drinks, text any questionable messages or do some questionable things.

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:

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.
