College is all about fun. It's about going to parties and hanging out with friends and just having an overall good time. But possibly the quickest way to ruin your good time as a male is being charged with sexual assault. Not only will this charge follow you around for life, but it's a real, good 'ole way to not be invited to any future parties.

Lucky for you, here's a handful of simple steps for you to follow to ensure that you complete this coming welcome week and semester without ending up on your local sex offender list:

1. Don't drink more than YOU can handle.

Don't get blackout drunk so you can stay aware of what's going on. You won't make any decisions that you'll regret later.

2. Make sure she isn't drinking more than she can handle.

If she's drunk, she can't consent. If you want to hook up with her, maybe don't force feed her shots?

3. Don't feed a girl drinks.

Purposefully getting a girl drunk so she'll have sex with you? A low blow. And date rape, btw.

4. Don't spike a girl's drink.

Putting something in a girl's drink without her knowing is kinda shady. And a giant waste of time, money, effort, etc.

5. Don't touch her unless she says it's okay, PERIOD.

Do not grab up and grab her from behind to dance with her. Do not smack her butt as you pass. Simply do not touch her unless she says that it's okay first!

6. Don't pressure her to do anything.

If she says no or doesn't seem into it, quit bugging her. Her answer is no. Not consent.

7. Don't assume that she's consenting.

It's not hard to straight up ask if she wants to have sex!!!

Yes means yes. Any other answer means no.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
