Back to the good old days.

Has anyone told you that you and your SO have an old fashioned relationship? I have heard that so many times and we call ourselves that because that kind of dating never goes out of style. It is a great way to start a relationship and it is easily one of the best feelings to know you are keeping up a dying tradition or two.

To start, it is really important to know that half the reason I like having an old fashioned relationship because my boyfriend and I find it to be more of a treat when we go out. No, he doesn't drive me around in an old Mercedes and listen to the oldies while sipping milkshakes but we definitely try and see the world as much as possible. It is important to find time to go out and have that "Milkshake" every once in awhile. It doesn't need to be an expensive date, just a happy one.

Everyone must have something fun to do on the weekends. for us, we like to visit museums and parks and just the simple tradition of holding hands catches people's eyes. Of course, I realize a lot of couples hold hands but I know a lot more that cringe at the idea. They kind of look like friends who just met sometimes, but if that's your thing, then that's cool.

Meeting the family is important in a relationship, basically everyone's relationships. I met his parents on the second date and it is important to show that you still have respect for your elders in that way. Meeting the parents is scary but it really shows how much you care.

Old style relationships can be hard to live up to, especially in this world where life can kind of get you down most of the time. Maybe we are "lame" because we like to sit down and have coffee or just go to the local park and hold hands while talking about life. It is really up to the person to have that relationship that lasts.

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.

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.
