My Boyfriend And I Deleted Our Dating Apps TOGETHER And It Was Such A Freeing Experience

My boyfriend and I met on Tinder 10 months ago, and although we have never met each other prior to that, it was "love at first swipe."

A touchy subject to talk about, the day finally came where we need to establish what we were and what our intentions were. Although most students go through the "talking" phase with their significant other, we knew that we both wanted more.

Because we met of Tinder, it hard to get a grasp on who the other significant other was like. Sure we read each other's bios and saw our profile pictures, but we really didn't know much about each other.

When we finally decided to meet up because I "needed help studying for my calculus exam," it was an experience and feeling that I've never felt before. (And side note, it so happens that we were in the same lecture for half a semester and didn't even know!) From the moment we started talking, we knew there was something more, not a moment of silence or awkwardness even though we literally just met. It was as if I was catching up with an old friend that I've known for years.

After about two weeks of "talking" and honestly being inseparable, we decided to have "the talk." Although we were both a little nervous, we knew that we had a connection that we couldn't deny. Once the conversation happened, we decided to take the big leap to delete our dating apps, i.e. Tinder. Which of course is where we met in the first place.

I have to say, that deleting Tinder, especially together, was the most freeing experiences. No worries that there were other girls, no worries that this was too good to be true. Deleting our profile's together signified that we were in an exclusive and genuine relationship.

No more games, it was just us.

Although it is very "millennial" to say that our relationship was "real" after deleting our apps, it was a way to demonstrate to each that we were serious. We were free from the hookup culture and games that our fellow classmates played.

We finally reached the "boyfriend-girlfriend" status. And it was so worth it.

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.
