There always seems to be a stigma about young engaged couples. People assume that their happiness or their marriage’s longevity will be dependent on the couple’s ages. That is completely untrue and here are some things you should never say to these couples!

1. “Aren’t you a little young?”

“Young” and “ready” are two different things. I’m an adult and am plenty “old enough” to decide if I am ready to get married.

2. “You should wait until you graduate college.”

...sometimes I’m not even sure how to respond to this. Since when does having a husband make me any less able to attend class?

3. “You know people who get married that young tend to divorce, right?"

Calm down. You really think my age is going to get in the way of true love? HA.

4. “You’re not financially stable enough.”

Come on people. I know having a husband can be A LOT like having a kid, but it’s still not the same.

5. “I hope this is going to be a long engagement.”

Maybe it will be. Maybe it won’t be. Whether I decide to get married tomorrow or a year from now, I’m going to be ready.

6. “Is your mom okay with this?”


First of all, I AM AN ADULT.

Second of all, yes my mom knows about this because no matter how old I am, I’m still a little scared of her.

7. “My husband and I didn’t get married until we were 27.”

Awesome. I’m getting married at 19. I still am failing to see the difference here??

8. “Are you sureeeeeeee he’s the one?”

I can assure you that I have never been so sure of something in my entire life. I am marrying the man who cares for me, supports me, and loves me with all of his heart. He is the kindest and most selfless man that I have ever met. And I am the luckiest woman in the entire world to have not wasted too much of my life by being without him.

I guess what I’m really trying to say here, is just to leave them be. If a couple is happy and Excited to be getting married, then be happy for them! If it doesn’t work out, then that can be taken care of later. Just keep your negativity to yourself and let others live the way that makes them feel whole.

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.
