Here you are in your 20s and you're still single. Everywhere you look you see couples, couples your age, younger couples, and older couples. You see couples everywhere you look from on the street, on campus, on social media, and at your favorite restaurants. But what you don't see while you're looking at all these couples is that it is perfectly okay that you're in your 20s and still single.

Being single in your 20s is actually an amazing thing. You have time to be yourself, to love yourself, and to be happy with yourself. All without having to devote time, and love to someone else when you may not have learned to do all of the above for yourself yet. And that is okay, too. Your 20's are about finding our who you are and what you want to do when you 'grow up'. You have college going on, you have your family and you have your friends.

To start you need to learn to be yourself, you and the world around you changes daily. Your likes and dislikes become different and you grow daily. While you are single you have time to find activities you like to do, whether it be working out, reading, drawing, or whatever you find that you like. Then do it! This helps in your development of becoming yourself. By finding stuff that you enjoy and truly makes you happy, it helps you grow within.

You also have to be able to love yourself before you can truly love someone else. When you look in the mirror and see yourself looking back at you, you need to be able to smile because you love the person you are. To look at yourself with open eyes and see what the rest of the world sees is one thing you need to be able to do in your life. While you're taking the time find yourself you should also find some time to equally love yourself too.

When you're happy with being yourself, it will make all the difference in your life. When you look in your mirror in your dorm or in your house and can smile because you're happy is when you have found your place in life. There are many ways to be happy with being you, from loving your body to being happy with your personality, or being happy with what you are doing in your life.

While all of this is going on in your life take the time to go on adventures. You may find some amazing people out there that you may never experience again. Take the time to go and do something crazy with your friends. Make those memories while you are single, and realize that it is okay being single.

Being single in your 20's isn't the end of the world. It's honestly just the beginning for you. You're in college and truly trying this adulthood thing out. Realize that while you're single it isn't the end of the world but the beginning for you. And when you least expect it, an azmaing man will come along in your life and whisk you away. He will love the same things about yourself that you do, and you will make him happy as he will you. He may be the man of your dreams, and you may even find him in your 20's.

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.
