Why I am Perfectly Okay With Being Single

I am 23 years old, almost 24, and I have never had a boyfriend. I was never the girl who thought of herself as attractive or good enough and certainly never would put myself out there to be noticed by a guy. I have had various crushes over the years that never really amounted to much because I was always too afraid to actually talk to them for fear of saying something dumb, which usually happened anyway, I kept to myself. I would stare at them from a far and dream of the day that they would finally notice me. As I got older, I made some guy friends that eventually ended because of distance, toxicity and emotional hardships that were too hard to overcome. My experiences with them never amounted to much of anything but always ended in the same way, me feeling miserable. I was sick of it. I hated the way that they made me feel like I was not worth their time and effort. So, I decided that I would stop putting in the effort because it was never reciprocated in any way. It took me a long time to be comfortable with self and my body to have that all go down the drain because of some boy. I still have crushes here and occasionally feel sad when I see all of these people happy in a relationship or getting engaged but I am happy with my life and that is what matters. I am in a good place for the first time in my life and I have worked too hard and too long to get here to have it messed up. When the time comes and I find someone, I will be ready for it. I am just going to live my life and take everything as it comes and not worry about the rest. Life is too short to worry about the little things! Being single is fun and free and right now that is exactly what I need! I have my friends and family and that is more then enough for me.

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.
