10 Ways to have fun when you're your own best Friend

I know I'm not perfect but if there's nothing else I can say about myself I can say that I love who I am.

Take yourself out to dinner.

While I was in London, on of my favorite things to do was wonder into different restaurants and try something from their menu.

Go catch that movie you've been dying to see.

There's always at least one movie on my "to watch" list that none of my friends want to see.

Go Shopping!

I try to keep this one to a minimum, but who doesn't love getting new clothes? And, it's a great way to get you out of the house.

Check out some YouTube tutorials

Even if you totally can't figure out how they managed to get the perfect winged eye-liner, it's still fun to try.

Cook a fancy meal.

Or try. The fruits of your labor should make you proud.

Read a book.

Reading on the White Cliffs

Even if you can't do it on the edge of the White Cliffs, exploring a new world is still fun.

Make a fake YouTube tutorial.

I actually like talking my imaginary subscribers through my makeup or hair process. Sometimes I'll recorded myself, usually I don't bother.

Binge Watch Netflix.

This can actually take up an entire week. Please, proceed with caution.

Take some time and stew a little.

The quiet times when I stay in all day are always the days when a solution to a problem that I've been working on all week pops into my head.

Remind yourself that other people love you too.

As much as I love hanging out with me, I have some pretty awesome friends. It's always great to catch up with them.

You have to love yourself with yourself before you'll be able to love any one else. And I do love me some me.

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.

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.
