16 Reasons You Should TOTALLY Never Date Your Best Friend

The friend-zone is very real and sometimes very necessary... or so we think.

The friend-zone kinda sucks, but there are very valid reasons as to why you should shut them down.

Dating your friend, especially your best friend, is almost always an awful idea, ending most likely in some sort of pathetic tragedy resulting in self-pitty and way too much Ben n' Jerry's ice cream.

The following are definitely things to consider before you jump into a relationship with your best friend.

1. You wouldn't want to ruin the friendship.

Because nothing good could really come from walking down the road of dating your best friend... Right?

2. They know your entire dating history.

And they know that none of your ex'sexese treated you the way they know you are meant to be treated.

3. They definitely know how weird you are.

Luckily, they're just as strange.

4. Actually, scratch that, they probably know nothing about you.

It’s not like all those nights talking about struggles, victories, and nonsense really covered anything important.

5. They will help you with all the gross bodily function tasks.

Popping zit, pealing sunburn, and many other personal hygiene things are suddenly pass-times

6. They won’t understand your humor.

What are inside jokes?

7. But honestly, they can read your mind, and that is a scary place.

You know it's bad when they can finish your sentences; Or even worse, when you don't have to say anything at all and they already know what your thinking.

8. They can be UNPREDICTABLE.

As much as you think you know they're every thought, they somehow keep you on your toes with one surprise after the next.

9. They have probably met your family before.

Nothing like some rude and obnoxious siblings to really bring out the insanity in you. Thank God they seem to fit right into the madness. Is it weird that your family seems to like them a little better than you?

10. You won’t have anything in common.

Like why do you guys spend so much time together anyways?

11. They know all your bad habits.

Because all the time spent together allows you to let your guard down quite a bit.

12.You are past the polite comfort zone.

Be prepared for awkward moments, unapologetic farts, and laughing with you mouth full.

13. There can and will be silence.

You can sit there for hours not saying a word to each other, but once they leave the room you feel incomplete.

14. You definitely are not going to look 10/10 in front of them.

And they don't look 10/10 in front of you either.

15. They will be able to see right through your “I’m Fine”'s.

There’s no hiding your emotions from them alright.

16. They will love you unconditionally.

Friendship over relationship ALWAYS. Even when you don’t want to be loved, even when you don’t feel like you should, they will be there for you always and forever and ever until the end of time because they are your best friend.

What’s better than that?

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.
