If You're Not Traveling With The RIGHT Friend, You're Doing It Wrong

Travel.

The best thing that a young college student not saddled down with a stable job, tons of bills, and other financial holds, can do in their lives. We're in the prime of our life and should take the advantage to go out and explore what this world has to offer.

I recently came back from visiting Asheville, North Carolina with a great friend of mine. I had the time of my life, not just seeing Asheville and the surrounding natural beauty of Blue Ridge Parkway mountains, but being with my friend. It was the little things such as having a girls-night-in our first night, where we got down and dirty on deep and personal things.

Even though we have only known each other for a short time, we just clicked.

You know those kinds of friends who when first meeting, feel like you've known them all your life? Yep, that's my story! We just seem to get each other, perks and all. And you're gonna need someone who you can get along with when you travel.

Trust me.

I've traveled with other friends on trips before and something always happens that sets the mood for the rest of the trip. It could be anything from petty arguments to personalities clashing that can ruin the trip. I'm not saying you can't travel with certain friends but you know the ones who are chill enough not to let the little things disrupt the mood, so be mindful of that when traveling.

All in all, just travel more, adventure more, but do it with people who will make the trip just a little bit more special.

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.
