Why I Want To Live With My Significant Other
StockSnap

So here's a surprise: in the middle of March, I will be moving in with my boyfriend.

After a little bit of research and looking in person at apartments, we finally decided on a little, hidden place to call our own.

We have been talking about living together since we practically started dating. With me graduating in May and wanting to find a job in my field, there's isn't much available for me at home in my very small town. And I've always wanted more than my little town. He's always wanted away from his hometown too because it's too far away from his job. He wanted to be in some place new. And because of our relationship, we didn't want to be far away from each other anymore. I mean though we never really lived extremely far away from each other.

And from what I've heard living with your significant other can have a lot of perks, but there could also be some downfalls. But to be honest, some of those downfalls could just be depending on the couple.

One of the things I'm most excited about living with my boyfriend is that all the nights that I want to cuddle up with him because of a bad dream, not feeling well or just because I want to cuddle. I can cuddle him up on the couch that ours or before going to sleep. I'll be able to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner with him anytime I want to. I can spend time with him in our space that we are paying for. I'll have someone to come home to now. I'll be able to have him to take of me, when I'm sick or exhausted and I can take care of him. I'll be able to say that we accomplished something huge.

Though those are only some of the advantages of being able to live with my significant other, the biggest fear I have about it is something people claim to be the biggest downfall. That downfall would annoying him too much or getting annoyed with him because we will be around each other a lot more than we ever have been. But then thing is with that, we spent nearly two weeks together over the summer for vacation and yes I mean we did want to kill each other at some points but never once did I stop loving him and never did I want to be apart from him.

See here's the real deal: even when we do live together and are in the same space, we will still be able to do our own thing. We can share the space and be our own person. He would be in the livingroom playing video games and I could be next to him writing, or doing homework and yet, we won't bother each other.

I'm not worried when people might say we might not make it through this, or that it's too early in our relationship to move in together. I don't believe that. We already act like we live together or like an old married couple, so really it can only get better!

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.
