Guys may think us girls are all high maintenance and that we need a diamond ring and flowers to make us happy. The opposite is actually true. We just want and need the small things from men. Men may not realize it, but its really the small things that make us happy. One small thing truly goes more than you'll ever know, babe. Here are some of those tiny things that really make our day delightful.

Small kisses on the lips, cheeks, forehead, hand, etc

If we are feeling sad, a playful little kiss on the cheek tends to really brighten our day.

Love notes

Finding a love note in our lunch at work or school can really help us to get through the day. Whether it be a few words or a few pages long, we love being reminded of how much we are loved by our significant others.

Bringing us food

We are on our periods and super cranky. You man up and bring us some fries from the local McDonald's. We are FOREVER thankful and will praise you till the cows come home. We just love it when you bring us food. Although your obviously the yummiest food around ;).

Hugs

Take notes, boys. We LOVE hugs. It feels like the world can't hurt us and we feel protected in your big manly arms. Please hold us forever, and never let go.

Cuddling

It is the absolute cutest thing in the world when you cuddle us. We feel safe, warm, and happy. We love the silence so we can hear the sound of your heartbeat. Its just one of our secret relaxing pleasures.

Doing chores with us

Laundry and dishes are terribly boring, but when you join in, it suddenly turns fun. Also, we love it when you come get groceries with us. It turns something boring into a totally fun experience. After all, men look incredibly hot while doing some laundry...

Being genuinely interested in our everyday life

We love being asked questions, whether it be how our day at work was, or what we are doing later that night. In any serious relationship, both parties should be asking questions regularly. After all, if you aren't even interested in our lives, should you even be dating us? Take notes, boys. ASK QUESTIONS. We are always happy to answer and ask you questions as well!

Giving us "that look"

Yes, ladies, you know what I'm talking about. The look. The look of love your boyfriend always gives you every time he sees you. Whether he's angry, mad, or upset with you, you can't help to notice that sincere look of love he gives you. When we have this look given to us, it reminds us how amazing you are. Oh, and if I didn't already mention, it looks incredibly sexy on you.

Making us laugh

On our darkest days, a simple joke can be enough to turn our frown upside down. We love when you tell us jokes, do something funny, or just go out of your way to embarrass yourself if it means making our day better.

Calling us babe, baby girl, sweetheart, sweet pea, pumpkin, etc

When we are on a date or texting and you call us those cute names, it really makes our day. We are reminded of how important we are to you. Also, if its not too much to ask, we love when you introduce us to your friends and family as "my girl or my baby girl."

As you can see, its the small things that give us joy in a relationship. So remember, next time you wanna make your girl happy, do one of these things instead of going and buying her a Tiffany and Co. ring. Seriously. It'll make you a better boyfriend and she'll feel like the luckiest girl in the world. The sweetest things you can do for your girl are the little things that let her know she's in your heart and on your mind. Less is always more when it comes to love.

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.
