I've Never Had A Boyfriend, But Trust Me, I Still Know Heartbreak
Lizz Braun

Yes, I've never had a boyfriend, but...

I still know heartbreak.

There have been so many times when I needed to crawl up with Chunky Monkey and cry my heart out. Second-hand breakup is a real thing. When my friends go through a breakup, it affects me too. I become so invested in relationships. Recently, my friend's heart was broken and when she sent me a text telling me about everything, I was in tears. I was not the one that experienced it, but I was still taken aback. More like I ate a bag of chips, cried, and watched a sad movie. It was horrible.

I give great boy advice.

For some reason, my friends that have had multiple boyfriends and relationships come crawling to moi for advice. I know the right things to text back: “no emoji.” I know how long to wait to answer: “wait 16 minutes.” And I know what to wear on date night: “Off the shoulder with light wash skinnies.” With all this great advice I have, I still cannot manage to find a boyfriend. It baffles me.

I make it through every valentines day alive.

My dad always comes in clutch with candy and chocolate covered pretzels every year. Chocolates from your best friends are fabulous. Also, the movie, Valentine’s Day, is amazing and so worth it. Plus, the day after, all the chocolate boxes are 70% off. Who needs a boy when you got boxes of fine chocolate?

Who really needs a boyfriend?

I don’t. I have made it through 17 years of life and I am still perfect. We live in a period of time when we do not need a man to get through life. Let’s stand and give a standing ovation to all the ladies who have not jumped from Jack to Ryan to Mike to Dan because those are the realest ladies. They have realized something other have not; that we are perfect when wearing sweatpants and a baggy T or a tight dress and pumps.

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.
