What "How I Met Your Mother" Has Taught Me

I grew up watching How I Met Your Mother with my parents. I grew to love and appreciate the show and it became my absolute favorite! Not only does it make you laugh and cry, it teaches you some great life lessons in each episode. Here are my top lessons I've learned from this amazing show.

Spoiler Alert: If you haven't seen all the seasons, some pictures/gifs contain elements from all seasons. You've been warned

1. Nothing good happens after 2 AM


2. Don’t chase after what doesn’t work


3. Don’t give up crazy times with friends


4. It’s not easy to stay friends with everyone from college


5. But cherish the friends who mean a lot to you

6. “Sometimes you fall for someone you’d never expect, but that doesn’t make it wrong.”

7. Pursue the career path and profession you’re passionate about


8. Don’t have sword fights with your best friend

9. High-fives are the best way to show your friends affection

10. If your wedding day isn’t going the way you want it to, make it perfect in your own way

11. “The one” may not necessarily exist because sometimes you get more than one chance at real love

12. Don’t rub it in your ex’s face when you’ve moved on

13. “Whatever you do in this life, it’s not legendary unless your friends are there to see it.”

14. Every moment that you’re living eventually turns into a memory and, therefore, an epic story


15. Your story is never really finished

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.
