To The Girl Who Is Always Single, You Don't Have To Be With Someone To Be Happy

You don’t have to feel like you are going to be “forever alone” because you're single.

I get it.

You’re the only one out of your group of friends that isn’t in a relationship. You watch your friends be cute with their partners and go on dates and have everything that you’ve ever wanted. You’ve been the third wheel to them while they hang out, even though they claim that it is just friends hanging out.

“Oh, you’ll find someone,” or “I know someone I can set you up with,” are common phrases you hear when you go out, and you believe it. You know that there is someone out there for you but you still get set up with your friend's cousin or their roommate's brother. It doesn’t bother you, because hey, at least you’re going on dates and meeting new people.

You’re on every dating app possible from Tinder to Plenty of Fish to Bumble. A few dates have been produced from these and a few hook ups. All your friends think that this one is going to be the one. It never is.

But after all of these things, you know that in your heart that it is okay to be single and that your perfect partner hasn’t been found yet. Don’t let it discourage you to go out and experience the same things that couples do.

Go on that date. Take yourself out on that date you’ve always wanted to go on. Being single and being alone are two different things. You’re not alone, you have your friends and your family.

You don’t have to feel like you are going to be “forever alone” because your single. No, don’t get that idea in your head.

Go on dates with your friends. Dates do not have to have a romantic setting to it. Coffee dates, painting dates, basically anything you do with your pals.

But to the girl who is a hopeless romantic who wants to find that person to love and cherish wholeheartedly, don’t give up. Love is out there, I promise.

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?

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.
