14 Reasons Why Your Early 20s Are A Weird Age
Presley Cranston

Something that I have gathered over the last couple of years is that your early 20s are a weird age. It's a time where you get to do new things. It's a time where you meet all new people and move to a new place. It's also a time to find out who you really are.

We all tend to complain about the majority of things that we have to do, but at the end of the day, we all realize that it's some of the best years of our lives.

1. You lose some of your best friends, yet you gain some of the greatest friends you've ever met.

2. You have a wide variety of friends.

3. You have no idea what you are doing with your life and you are pressured to know.

4. You are finding out who you truly are even though you feel like you are a mess 100% of the time.

5. You are absolutely broke, but still manage to buy booze, food, books, and pay for rent.

6. You are drinking an excessive amount of alcohol, and it's completely normal.

7. It's a time to completely start over.

8. You meet all new people, and you are trying to figure out what place they have in your life and what your previous (hometown) friends mean to you.

9. You get to spend a huge amount of money studying abroad, and it's the smartest thing to do.

10. You feel like everyone is dating someone around you, and you think that you will be single for the rest of your life.

11. You can be awake for an excessive amount of time and still function.

12. You can/need to take naps every day.

13. You aren't ready for the real world, and you are pushed into it whether you like it or not.

14. You are having the best time of your life

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.

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.
