We all get in fights with our S.O. We all say or do things we regret but in relationships there are certain lines that shouldn't be crossed. The thing is words hurt and you can't take them back or say sorry enough to erase something you said in the heat of the moment. Here are some things you should never say to your S.O.:

1. "I don't need you."

This one hurts. Everyone wants to be needed, especially in a relationship. Couples need to need each other in some way. Yeah sure, maybe it shouldn't be clingy AF but just needing someone on your side to cuddle is enough. Don't say that you don't need them, no matter how mad you are, because truth is...you do need them.

2. "You drag me down."

You're holding me back is another way to say this one. Only you can hold yourself back, so don't put that guilt on your S.O. because they won't forget those words...ever. If you aren't moving forward that's on you so don't scream that at them when they are pissing you off.

3. Any derogatory term.

Bitch, slut, whore, idiot, bastard, asshole. These words don't hep anything and chances are if you really thought this about your S.O. you wouldn't be with them. It's rude and hurtful so keep you cruel words to yourself. Treat your S.O. how you'd like to be treated.

4. "I was talking to other guys/girls because you weren't giving me enough attention."

Or I sent nudes to Chad. I hear girls talking about doing this all the time. If you are sending nudes to Chad then chances are your S.O. will find out. So please, stop. If your S.O. isn't making you happy anymore, move on. Don't put cheating in their head and scar them for future relationships. Once that trust is broken, it's impossible to get back.

5. "You're only good for sex."

They aren't a tool or a sex toy. No matter how mad you are, reel this one in. It's a really shitty thing to say and will make your S.O. feel like you don't even love them. Also side note, if you are trying to have a child REALLY don't say this or there will be a wedge in your relationship forever. Your So will wonder if you ever loved them or just wanted their sperm.

6. "You'll never be anything."

Or you can't do X, Y, Z. Would you want someone shitting on your dream, even if it seems impossible? No. So walk away from the relationship or support your S.O. Even if they want to be a famous pop star but sound like a tone-deaf sea lion singing the national anthem. Support your S.O. and their dreams. Always.

7. "You deserve to be alone."

No one deserves to be alone. This could even push an S.O. towards committing suicide if they feel no one wants them around or they don't deserve happiness. Words can seriously deteriorate someone's mind. You don't need that on your conscious so be quiet.

8. 'You're just like your mother/father."

This is one of the worst things you can EVER say to your S.O. Don't say it. Trust me. Don't. It'll only end badly for you.

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.
