6 Feelings Of Meeting Your Significant Other's Family For The First Time
Kevin Curtis

It is the first big step and such an exciting time when you get to meet your significant other's family. Not just their mom, dad, and siblings, but their entire extended family! You know it's getting serious when you need Nana. But there are many feelings that come with meeting all these new family members...

1. I hope they like me

You've picked out your outfit days in advance, practice your 30 second speech on academic and career goals, and study as much as you can about their family...but you still are anxious they won't like you.

2. What is their name again?

You met 2 sets of grandparents, 7 aunts and uncles, and 18 cousins when you walked in the door... How the hell were you supposed to remember everyone's name?

3. Yes please keep showing me pictures of my girlfriend in diapers!

You get to see adorable baby pictures of your significant other!

4. *internally strains every time I almost curse*

You've almost said 'damn' three times and 'shit' about eight. Each time you cover it up but you know your slip up is coming.

5. Oh, I'm not the first girl they've brought home...

When you find out the hard way you're not that special and they've met a girlfriend before.

6. When the pie is not as good as your grandma's...

You have to stay silent while eating a subpar piece of apple pie.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

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.
