Let The Date Asking Begin!

The smell of date parties (and soon semi-formals) are in the air.

Let The Date Asking Begin!

I am a girlfriend, which means: a constant date to football games, tailgates, double dates, weddings,  and most importantly, date parties and semi-formals. 

Never having to worry about who to ask, how to ask, or being set up on a blind date basically rocks. I would suggest to all girls to find a boyfriend in order to avoid the awkward question of: "Sooooo, are you doing anything in two weeks and do you have an outfit that you can wear to a safari?" 

However, if you do have to ask that question, proceed with caution. You don't want to scare away any possibilities. Be nice and polite, make sure to ask only guys that are single, ask in advance, and make the outfit as easy on them as possible. 

For myself, we have Snakes & Safaris. Which means dress up like an animal or as someone on a safari. Aka, go to the thrift store and buy the cheapest floral shirt possible. 

And soon enough, date parties will vanish and semi-formal will be here. Get a dress ready now. You don't want to have to wait till the last-minute shopping for something that a high schooler said no to for homecoming. When it comes to dates, hopefully date parties went well and you can reuse a date. 

If not, definitely ask earlier. We all know that chapters have a bad habit of scheduling parties/formals the same day as everyone else. So, everyone, get your outfits ready, and be prepared to buy many shirts. Let the asking begin!

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.
