Why It's Okay To Fall In Love Young

We've all heard everyone say "Wait until your older to find someone special" or "You don't have time for a significant other." It's probably been brought to your attention from your parents and even the First Lady Michelle Obama herself. But no one ever talks about why it is okay to fall in love young. We shouldn't be scaring children away from love; it would create a barrier that they may have in future relationships. Being in some form of relationship would help both boys and girls learn how to communicate from a younger age and handle their emotions in a more mature way. I definitely don't think young love is for everyone, but for a few people, it is a life long commitment.

Telling boys that they can't like girls leads them to bullying them, which adults tend to call "flirting." We have to allow young boys to show emotions that way they aren't confused by what others say. Girls, on the other hand, will tend to always want to be around the boy they like or be emotionally devoted to him and not be able to focus on anything else. Girls should also be allowed to feel confident enough to make a first move, but society tells them not to. Teenagers will do worse things if they are told not to do it, so going on a few dates with a chaperone won't hurt them.

Trust is a huge factor when teens begin dating. It may be hard at first, but trusting that they can handle homework and go watch a movie with someone they like. It should be an open communication between parents and teenagers, it helps both sides to feel more at peace. It's nothing to be afraid of, it should be about love and acceptance.

Love is important to allow into a young person's life, it helps them grow and mature much more. Love is what changes people for the better. Now there will be heartbreaks that will suck, but I promise it makes people stronger. High school sweet hearts are able to make it through school into college and into adulthood together. Don't let anyone tell you that it won't last, because it can if you try hard enough. Trust each other and don't worry about what anyone else has to say about either of you or your relationship.

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.
