10 Of The Most American Things To Ever Happen

It's that time of year again! Pictures of American flags being held by girls sporting red, white, and blue attire with bright, red-lipsticked smiles and pouts are about to flood your Instagram feed because it's the Fourth of July. This is a day to celebrate courage, independence, and the greatest country in the world, America. Oh, America. While it's given its people amazing freedoms and opportunities, it has also given its people the reason to say "'Merica." You know what I'm talking about; when you just see something and the only adjective to describe it is with the word "'Merica." It's the only description that can characterize a situation, event, or even a picture because you know it could occur no other place in this world. Yes, take this day to celebrate how precious our freedom is to us, the American people, but also use it to appreciate some of the most American things of all time.

1. Abraham Lincoln riding a grizzly bear while holding a gun and the Declaration of Independence.

Anyone else feel like they should say the Pledge of Allegiance right now?

2. The eagle in front of an American flag while wearing a cowboy hat with fireworks going off in the background.

Eagle eyes staring right into my soul.

3. These guys rolling up to a McDonalds.

McDonalds french fries make me feel pretty free, I don't know about y'all.

4. This ice cream flavor.

-

I would love to know what freedom tastes like. Just kidding. I taste freedom everyday because I live in the U.S. of A.

5. The scents of these candles.

Not only can you taste freedom, but you can smell it too.

6.This soldier lying in a pile of bullets.

Bullet angels > Snow angels.

7. This man decked out in American flag clothing while riding an American flag motorcycle that has an American flag waving behind it.

Probably driving into a sunset of independence.

8. This fun little snack.

Here in the United States, we have the freedom to give ourselves diabetes, and we are #blessed.

9. This quote from Ron Swanson.

Preach.

10. Everything about this man.

I'm just really thankful for him.

So celebrate this day, and remember to continuously celebrate the gift that is independence. Have a happy Fourth of July!

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.
