I Am That Girl That Is Ready To Settle Down In College

Sorry, not sorry.

You read that right. I am a 19-year-old girl in college that is ready to settle down. I have a boyfriend that I have been dating for a while now. I don't find anything wrong with wanting to be serious in college.

I don't want to be a part of the hookup culture like most of the people in college. I just don't get what's so fun about that. What's so enjoyable about hooking up with a guy that will never talk to you again? I just don't get it, and I never will. I don't get why people are so willing to be put in such a disrespectful position. I could not, and would not, give my body to every guy in sigma apple pie, no thank you.

Having a serious relationship is so enjoyable especially in college. I get to do so much, and I have someone to share all of my experiences with. I have someone that I can take trips and sightsee with. I have someone that I can always count on.

Whenever I have a tough week, I know I can go see my boyfriend on the weekend, and he knows exactly how to make me forget about it. Whenever I have problems with my friends at school, he always listens to me vent about them. He pushes me to do my best in everything.

I honestly would not make it through college without him. So yeah, when people ask me if I'd be ready to settle down with him, of course, the answer is yes. I know I had a life before him, but I'd never want to go back to that.

I could never trade my amazing relationship for a few hookups. Nothing could ever beat the happiness I get from being in a relationship with my best friend.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
