It's that time of year again: March Madness. While this time brings lots of basketball binge watching and the sophisticated science behind creating brackets, we should also take a second to appreciate the fan merchandise that hits sporting good stores. A lot of what is created is references to the schools in the tournament (which I find hilarious because I never understand it and it all just sounds silly to me) but there is also a branch of it that is just for your avid basketball loving fan. Therefore, I decided to take a time to appreciate the clever and sassy shirts that our favorite teams have worn (or will wear) proudly during the big dance.

1. MADE IN MARCH

This shirt holds a special place in my heart because I found it to be the greatest saying ever yet I never could bring myself to buy it. (Also - I'll miss you in the tournament this year Badgers)

2. VILLANOVA MENTALITY

This one cracks me up because WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WHAT IS YOUR MENTALITY? PLEASE EXPLAIN ANYONE FROM VILLANOVA. PLEASE.

3. [insert school name] VS. ALL


Well... yeah, guys. That's how the tournament works. If you're good enough, it will be you versus everyone, I guess?

4. Chicago Is Dancin'

this one is just cute because of the pun and usage of the tournaments nickname. I just love it I just want to appreciate it for a second.

5. [insert school name] HERE TO CREATE

I believe these are the new merch for the season but like gosh, what is this. What are we creating? Championships? New records? Help.

6. CLOCK IN

Love the little college sayings I guess but is this really the slogan? Do frat boys say this? Who on Earth? I have questions please contact me.

7. FOR THE CITY

Ah yes, the greatest sacrifice one can make for a city: playing college basketball. Really great, really nice, big fan of this one..

8. JUST NEVER STOP [insert some school's logo in the basketball]

Another new piece arriving to the courts this season. I do appreciate this one a lot because this is what I expect from Nike. This is a real good pep-talk on a shirt.

9. DO MORE - SAY LESS

Honestly, this one is not bad but I just thought it said "pay less" on it. I like this one though because I can just picture a team saying this to the team they verse. Just the greatest comeback.

10. FEED THE FLOOR

Alright... Now I am just straight up confused. Who? What? How? Really, I want to know, what are we feeding it? Tennessee, help me understand. Do I have to attend this college to understand it? Let me know, thanks.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
