When we look at all the issues going on in our country right now from the pandemic sweeping through us to the injustices we have been seeing in our society, we need to change. It is evident that a change needs to be made by the people living as well as those running our country. When thinking about this upcoming year, this semester is going to be completely different than what we are used to. Before heading back to school, I suggest reading some of these quotes to remind you that change needs to be made and it will be made for the better!

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Gandhi 

"If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down." -Roy T. Bennett 

"If you can't change it, change your attitude." -Maya Angelou 

"Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change." -Wayne D. Dyer

"Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." -George Bernard Shaw

“Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” -John Maxwell 

"The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude." -Oprah Winfrey 

“Optimism is the most important human trait, because it allows us to evolve our ideas, to improve our situation, and to hope for a better tomorrow.”  -Seth Godin 

“It’s most important that you surround yourself with positivity always, and have it in your mind at all times.” -Tyler Perry

“Positive thinking is more than just a tagline. It changes the way we behave. And I firmly believe that when I am positive, it not only makes me better, but it also makes those around me better.” -Harvey Mackay

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.

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.
