I have always had a hopeful heart, but this time I am ready. Ready for a vibrant and fulfilling love. I am ready to be swept off my feet as cheesy and corny as is sounds. Love isn't something you can force but if is to happen I know my heart will accept it with open arms.

I hope my next love is fierce and strong. I need it to challenge me and force me to go bigger and do better. I want to be with someone who helps me better myself and who I can help better.

Not in the project sense but in the we both want to grow together as people sense. Someone who understands that growth as both people and as a couple is a necessary part of a relationship.

I want my next love to be both a home and an adventure. Someone who is constantly keeping me on my toes but also the person I am the most comfortable around. But also in the sense of someone who no matter where we are is the person I look to when I think of home.

My biggest hope for my next love is that they respect my independence and in fact love me even more for it. I want someone who accepts me for who I am and loves the parts of me that make me a strong woman. I can no longer handle cowards who don't know how to love me. I'm ready for a mature relationship where two people focus on the future and how to grow together.

Love is something I struggle with because while I want to be independent, the hopeless romantic in me can't help but dream. All I can do is hope that my next love is everything I need and more. So future love if you're out there my heart is open and ready whenever you are.

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.

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.
