Ladies, You Can Have The Quarterback, I'll Take The Class Clown Every Time

I'd rather have a guy that makes me laugh over a male model any day.

There are many things about me that stand out: my resting bitch face, my choice to almost always wear black, and the number of people I dislike. However, there is one thing—despite my appearance—that also stands out: my love to laugh.

I love to laugh, I mean who doesn’t? It immediately puts you in a better mood, brightens your day, and can even help you make friends.

Just a message to ALL the guys that are SO interested in me: laughter is the way to win me over.

I’m one of very few that would totally go for someone who makes me laugh and makes me happy, than someone who looks like Niall Horan—or Channing Tatum if that’s more your cup of tea—but has the personality of a piece of paper. I mean, yeah, if you’d rather have someone who’s more attractive so that way you can post “cute pics” and get all the “likes” that you need, that’s all on you.

I’ve had that mindset before, you know in those middle school days, and I find it absolutely boring. It’s one thing to be attracted to someone for their looks and another to fall for their personality.

And if someone can make me laugh I immediately find them attractive.

Laughing sends endorphins to the brain, so associating them with a specific person can easily cause you to start “catching feelings.”

Laughing isn’t all that goes into what makes me like someone; we need to have some of the same interest, treat me with respect, keep me happy, they need to be a fan of the North Carolina Tar Heels, and they need to be able to handle my attitude and sass.

Those last two are very important.

There’s a lot more that goes into a relationship and I have perfect examples around me: my mom and dad, and my sister and my brother-in-law. My dad is constantly making my mom laugh with dumb jokes or funny stories about his friends, and my sister’s husband is constantly making both her and me laugh with his many different voices.

Every relationship has its ups and downs, but love and laughter are what helps keep it together.

So, you can date your male model who has the personality of a piece of paper. I’ll stick to the guy that makes me laugh, treats me right and knows how to cheer for the Tar Heels.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
