Life is full of choices. We wake up everyday and decide what to do. We make choices. Some small, some large. Maybe the choice is between getting a coffee or a tear. Or, maybe changing your major or not. I have made many choices in my 19 years of living. A lot of them have been terrible. Here's 12 things I will just never, ever do again.

1. Schedule an 8 am class.

Need I say more? This was one of the worst decisions of my life. Seriously. I wish I was kidding. On 2 occasions I woke up late and sprinted to my class. It's just to early. Find a different time for that class. You'll thank me.

2. Continued to date the boy who my mom warned me about.

Now, mother isn't always right, but when it came to the slug of a boyfriend, she was. Your mom will usually be the first one to tell you if something isn't right, and she's usually spot on. I spent too long with a guy who couldn't give 2 shits about me, all the while, my mom was telling me he wasn't worth it. I wish I listened.

3. Lead people on.

Back in my day, I was pretty known for this. I am not proud of it. Which is why it's on this list. Don't do it, kids. You'll regret it, trust me.

4. Take a selfie.

Alright people, I am tried of it. I used to take selfies like a queen in freshman and sophomore year of high school. I don't even know how to anymore. Do you boo, but me? I am done. I am too awkward for it. That meme of only showing your forehead on snapchat? That's me. That's all I do.

5. Let what people have to say about me get to my head.

I don't know who hasn't cared about what others say about them. I cared too much. When everyone was having fun at pep rallys, I would just stand there. I didn't want anyone to see me dancing or doing anything that could be seen as "embarrassing." Well you know what? I also didn't have any fun in high school. So, screw it. Everyone can laugh at me and I will still be having fun.

6. Burpees.

Just, no.

7. Putting my jeans in the dryer.

Who does this? Who wants to suffer in this way? Your jeans lost the comfy feeling when you dry them. Don't do it. It's the worst. I don't get it. I had to dry my jeans one time, ONE time! It was the worst experience. I was uncomfortable most of the day. If you put your jeans in the dryer, next time, don't.

8. Have the complex that men have to get ahold of me first.

This mindset just sucks. I had it for too long. I would wait around for a guy to text me, when I could have easily reached out first. But, no. I had to wait in my bed, somehow getting mad, because he wasn't getting ahold of me. Protip: just send the damn text. It's 2018, who cares?

9. Write this article.

Okay, just a joke. But, seriously, I won't be writing this article ever again, so it qualifies.

Some jokes, some serious, but all lessons. And, also, all things I won't ever do again. Learn from me, please. I went through a lot to realize these things. Especially the jeans thing. That was the worst.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
