To the girl who has never had a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day:

Every year as Valentine’s Day approaches, you watch as pink and red hearts go up in the stores and chocolates and teddy bears appear on the shelves. You hope that maybe, this year, you will have a boyfriend to buy you a box of chocolates or a bouquet of roses.

Every year you tell yourself, “Maybe next year.” But next year comes around and there is still no special guy in your life. Other girls have boyfriends to celebrate the special day with, but all you have is a string of crushes that you doubt have any interest in you. On Valentine’s Day your friends’ Instagrams are full of adorable dates, engagements and mushy Valentines posts, but yours is silent because you haven’t done anything special worth posting about.

Instead of eating at a fancy restaurant with your boyfriend you sit in your room eating popcorn and chocolate you bought yourself, watching The Office and wondering if your Pam will ever meet her Jim.

Is there something wrong with me? Why has no one I liked ever liked me back? You wonder. You wonder what it feels like to be in love, to love someone and know that that feeling is reciprocated. You begin to worry that maybe you’ll never know what that feels like.

“Be patient,” everyone tells you. “One day your prince will come.”

You hear that from everyone – friends, cousins, parents, and mentors. Sometimes it can be frustrating because while you know that’s true, you don’t want to wait. You want a boy now, this year, not five years in the future.

As clichéd as this may sound, God has the perfect person in mind for you. God knows your loneliness as you see your best friends post pictures with their boyfriends and wonder when your turn will come. He knows how you feel when you’re eating with two friends with significant others talking about their plans for Valentine’s Day.

Mr. Right will come at the right time and will step into your life not a minute before or after he’s supposed to. He’ll be the guy who you chase after God with, the guy you journey through life with, the guy who matches everything on your list, and the guy who loves you as much as you love him.

This year might not be the year, but one year you will celebrate Valentine’s Day with a special guy who makes all of the years of singleness worth the wait. You will finally know what it is like to be in love and to like a guy who likes you back.

Until then, pray for your future husband, eat all the chocolate you want, watch all the sappy movies you want, and don’t let another year of singleness on Valentine’s Day cause you to give up hope for your future.

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.
