7 Things That Happen In Movies But Will Never Occur In Real Life
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Movies are dramatic and exaggerated. We all know that. But, sometimes there are just things that bother you because it's so blatantly unrealistic it hurts. It's this image that the movie is trying to portray, but I don't subscribe.

Waking up with your hair and makeup completely intact

When I wake up I look awful, my face is puffy and my hair is ratty. No one looks like their curls were just perfectly so.

Saying “call me” to a stranger...they definitely don’t have your number

Those scenes when someone drives by in a car and holds up their fingers like a phone. If that happened in real life, there's just no way you'd be able to contact them.

Setting a date but not exchanging information

When a boy says "I'll pick you up at 8," but doesn't know where their date lives and/or their phone number. Sure, they'll see you then.

Wearing cute pajamas

If anyone wants to know what girls really wear to bed, it's sweats. Maybe some pajama shorts they've had for years. Potentially just an XL t-shirt. It is not some cute, sexy matching set.

Also, wearing matching lingerie sets

Ok, this one like lowkey everyone aspires to be, but it's just not reality. Everyone would love to walk around wearing matching underwear sets all the time with an amazing body to show it off, but realistically there are more comfortable things to wear.

Leaving money on the table in a restaurant

No one does that all the time. No one even carries cash on them anymore. Even if they did, you think they'd have the exact change to cover the bill and tip? Probably not.

Women in apocalypse or action movies with one smudge of dirt on their faces

Sure. Your makeup is still perfect and you have one rip in your shirt. That's what I'd look like too if I was running for my life and fighting zombies and whatnot.

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.
