The Ultimate Workout

Trade in your tennis shoes for heels -- they tone your legs way better, and get your workout doing full hair and makeup.

Some people like to go frat hopping and drink, and some people also like to stay fit and work out. But, I have come to a conclusion -- frat hopping is a topnotch work out.

If I take the time to get ready, and actually do my hair and make up for once, I like to make the best of it and go to many different places. I have to make sure multiple people know I can look half way decent, because I usually look homeless when I go to class; I'm praying I don’t look like that when I meet my future husband. I want to show people I own more clothes than just Nike shorts, Converse and t-shirts. So, it’s an absolute must to go everywhere and show off. 

Most frats are known for a certain characteristic. Maybe it is their special setups, their cute boys, the best music or the nicest house. You, pretty much, have to scope out all of them. Since they are separated into North and South Greek, it can be a pretty long walk. 

When walking from house to house, and throughout North and South Greek, those steps add up. I spend more time walking to and from the frats, Thursday through Saturday, than I do walking to class Monday through Friday. Walking isn’t as good as running, but I think it adds up when you wear five-inch wedges. I often wake up with sore legs because I walked and stood so long in wedges. I’m not complaining. I heard heels tone your legs. So there’s your daily cardio and leg toning just from walking to the parties. 

You have to walk up, like, six flights of stairs just to get to the party. I don’t know why every party has to be on the third floor and not the first. At the end of the night you could have walked up at least 21 flights of stairs. That’s an even better workout, right there. 

Dancing burns calories, especially when they start playing songs that make you get low. I am not all about getting too low because after walking three miles and up eight flights of stairs, I may not get back up. But, I have seen some girls put in a week's worth of working out just from dancing with a guy. It was kind of scary, but she probably burned off her intake of calories from the night. 

I heard something about how Tequila has some type of sugars that lower blood glucose levels and help lose weight. I don’t know if that’s completely true or not, but it works for me! Who knew you could take shots and burn calories?

When you have 500 people in a tiny bedroom, you sweat bullets just standing there. You don’t even have to move! It’s almost like a free trip to the sauna, but one that reeks of sweat and has people spraying beer on everyone. 

Pass around the boxed wine or bottle of champagne a few times. That thing can get heavy. Especially after holding it up in the air for a while. That’ll give you a good arm work out. Next time you’re out drinking all of your allowed daily calories in alcohol, you won’t have to worry! You might actually be losing weight!

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.

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.

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.
