Decades ago, younger generations commonly went on dates to drive-in movies, dinners, ice cream, etc. Back in those days, prices were definitely cheaper than they are now. Today, dates consist of dinner, a movie, mini golf, double dates, and really anything else that you can think of.

But should the male be paying for all of these adventures?

Yes, I'm young and haven't really experienced a lot of the dating world, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

I see a lot of debates on social media about who should pay on dates, especially first dates. Well, here's how I see it.

The beginnings of a relationship, to me, are a gray area. That can be handled however the two want. Once a relationship has been established, though, this does not mean the male should now be basically supporting the female. That's not how a relationship should go.

Men should not always be expected to pay.

If your man wants to spoil you, that is his business.If he thinks you deserve flowers or presents every day, more power to him.However, you shouldn't be asking your man to take you to all these expensive restaurants, places and name off all these name brand things you want him to buy for you. And if you and he go out all the time, you shouldn't just assume he is going to pay for everything every single time.

Ladies, don't expect your man to support you as if you are his child.

Relationships are 50/50. You should not expect him to buy you everything you want and ask for, and he shouldn't have to pay for every meal and outing. That's just not fair to ask of him.

I know money is a struggle sometimes, so you might say well "I'm on a budget." There are alternatives though.

Invite him over, cook, watch a movie or play board games. There are so many things to do that don't have to involve going out or spending lots of money, but he shouldn't be in charge of everything.

Just remember ladies, your man deserves to be given things just as much as you do.

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.
