When the person you love and care about isn't by your side, it can be tough to make things work. There are lots of little things you can do to make sure you and your significant other feel the love while you're apart.

1. Movie Nights

I know that you're probably wondering how you could possibly have a movie night when it feels like your significant other is a million miles away. But, if you're a movie lover like me, you make things work. Schedule a date night where both of you have enough time to cozy up in your rooms with a blanket, some popcorn, and some technology.

You can FaceTime your boo, set up Netflix on your laptops, and VOILA, a cute little movie night! (Just make sure to press play at the same time).

2. Little updates and photos

When you're apart, you can't see what is going on in your significant other's life. Luckily we have so much technology at the tips of our fingers. I know this seems obvious, but it's so important to keep your partner in the loop. Whether it's a text, a snapchat, or even a meme sent over Insta, it's the little things that make you feel close.

Telling your partner about your latest adventure, a new friend you made, or even sending a picture of a cute dog you saw is a way to share pieces of your life with them. Communication is key.

3. Bucket lists

Having a bucket list or a plan of things that you want to do the next time that you are together is a good way to stay excited about your relationship and your future. You can make a list of some dates that you plan to go on, the foods you plan to eat, places you plan to go, or anything else that you like to share together.

If you're feeling super inspired you can make themed lists. Did someone say spooky bucket list?

4. Good morning and good night

Beginning and ending your day with a phone call, even it's a minute long, can make you feel that much closer. It's really important to stay connected when you're apart. Setting specific times to talk on the phone, even if they aren't the morning and night, is important to make sure that you keep in touch every day.

Calling is a way that you can be sure to let them know that you care.

5. Sharing music

Music has always had a way of bringing people together. When you hear a song that makes you think of your significant other, or a song you think that they would like you can share it with them to put a smile on their face. Knowing that you partner recommended a song makes listening to it feel like a special and shared experience.

If you're feeling really extra you can go all out and make a whole playlist for your boo.

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.
