When you are in a relationship, a million things can be going on so just remember you do these five things for yourself.

1. Stay healthy, physically and mentally 

Whenever you start a relationship, it is statically proven that couples will typically gain weight. Once you settle down, you don't need to care as much about your appearance, and you typically eat out more often. Make sure you are still taking care of your body and your health because you don't want to realize six months in that you've gained 10 lbs.

Also, make sure that you are mentally healthy. Have open and honest lines of communication with your partner if you are ever stressed or anxious because keeping it bottled in only makes everything worse.

2. Make time with your friends 

No matter how in love you are you also need to make sure you keep a healthy relationship with your friends. Whether it is spending every other weekend with them or dedicating time to watch your favorite show together, make sure you don't forget about them when you start a new relationship.

3. Make time for yourself

This may be one of the most important things you need to remember to do in your life. Although spending the day cuddling sounds amazing, you need to make sure you have some time to yourself too. Whether it's making sure you spend enough time studying or doing homework or just relaxing on your own, doing your own thing, just make sure you carve out some alone time.

4. Make sure you are happy 

This is similar to the first one, but you need to make sure you are happy. If you are not happy in your relationship, why are you still in it? Love is only supposed to better your life and make you happier and your partner should never continuously bring you down, they should lift you up.

5. Have fun 

Balancing your life between your partner, friends, and yourself should not be added stress in your life. If you found the right partner and you have great friends it should all come naturally. Just make sure you are able to have fun in your life. You only get every day once so just live your life to its fullest extent and enjoy!

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.
