No matter how long you and your sweetheart have been dating, if you haven't gone on at least half of these classic dates, you are hereby revoked of your "relationship goals" status. Every couple MUST enjoy these activities at least once:

1. The "dinner and a movie" date

Every successful couple has most likely gone on more than one of these timeless dates! It's a staple of the American romantic relationship, really.

2. The "rock out at the concert" date

Dance and sing along with your lover to your favorite artist's best hits (with thousands of people to back you up, of course).

3. The "out and about in nature" date

Drag your darling out into the sunshine to wander aimlessly among the forest or to splash in the ocean waves. Or hike a mountain together and capture proof of your victory with an adorable selfie taken at the top.

4. The "sunrise on the beach" date

Pack plenty of blankets and dress in layers for a late-night campout on the sand. Fall asleep in each other's arms to the sounds of the ocean, but don't forget to wake up in time for the beautiful sunrise!

5. The "dinner at the diner" date

Share an old-fashioned milkshake and a basket of French fries with your sweetheart for a picturesque, memorable meal.

6. The "smile at each other over coffee" date

Give your babe a tour of your favorite café in town, and introduce them to the pure heaven that is your favorite coffee drink.

7. The "big city adventure" date

Find the closest big city to you both and plan a day trip to visit its greatest attractions. Or just go on an improvised adventure and take the streets by storm!

8. The "run around the library" date

Read each other passages from Shakespearean love poem anthologies or mess around and find your favorite picture books in the children's section.

9. The "not-so-candid photoshoot" date

Go somewhere photogenic and have your darling model for you as you snap all of the portraits and candids on your camera.

10. The "picnic in the park" date

Pack a homemade lunch or bring some takeout food to the park for a lovely outdoor lunch. Spread a blanket out on the grass and just enjoy experiencing nature's beauty with your love.

11. The "best friend double-date" date

Get one of your best friends and their bae to join you and yours on your next romantic adventure! The more, the merrier.

12. The "run around the carnival" date

Steal a kiss (or two, or three) at the top of the Ferris wheel. Laugh at how loudly your boyfriend screams on the rollercoaster and hold hands on the carousel, stuffing yourselves with funnel cake after you're good and dizzy.

13. The "hang out at home" date

It could be "Netflix and chill" or even as simple as hanging around in your pajamas with a delivery pizza and some board games to pass the time with. Or you could play with (or against) each other in his favorite video game.

14. The "go out to a party together" date

Let everyone know that you're together with protective arms around each other's waists and strut around like you own the place. You'll be the talk of the party.

15. The "go out for ice cream" date

Because there's never a bad time for ice cream and it's even sweeter when it's enjoyed with someone you adore.

16. The "Applebee's 2-for-$20" date

Put only a small dent in your savings with a dinner date that WON'T empty your pockets, but also won't disappoint!

17. The "at least attempt to study" date

Study together for an exam you both have coming up or work on your own homework in each other's company. At least TRY to focus without taking too many "study breaks"...

18. The "sneak into the playground at night" date

Relive your childhood and wreak havoc in the elementary school playground when no one's around to judge the two of you as you push each other on the swings and slide down the slide.

19. The "ice skating (and sliding)" date

Watch each other try to impress one another with your ability to remain upright on the ice for longer than twenty consecutive seconds. It'll be comforting to know that your sweetie's arm is right there for you to grab onto.

20. The "4th of July fireworks" date

Kiss your lover right there under the exploding night sky for a magical moment that neither of you will ever forget.

…

Call up your boo and tell them to scrap whatever plans they had for tonight; you've got quite a long list to get started on.

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.
