10 Reasons Why Polish People Are The Best
Wikipedia

I may come off a bit biased considering I come from a Polish-American family, but hey, we all tend to think quite highly of ourselves so please don't mind if I embrace my culture.

I come from a big family, and that family tree just keeps getting bigger. With that said, I've learned a lot growing up with Polish customs. The traditions, the values, and the holidays become a way of life. Having been brought up polish has been anything but boring. Here are 10 reasons that justify Polish power:

1. The food.

This traditional polish meal has my mouth salivating. Pierogi, Gołąbki, Rye bread, Kubuś, placki ziemniaczane, kielbasa -- whoops now I'm probably talking gibberish. Bottom line, Polish food can have you weak in the knees.

2. We have a holiday dedicated to pouring water on each other.

Polish culture celebrates the day after Easter, known as Śmigus-dyngus day, by sprinkling water on others as a sign of purity, health, and well-being. In today's world, kids take advantage of this day by using any chance they get to pour water on others as a prank. Oh don't get me wrong, the moral of the day is definitely still there...

3. Poland is a beautiful country.

Whether you're in the city or up hiking in the mountains, the sights are undeniably breathtaking.

4. We are the funniest, craziest people you'll ever meet.

5. Best weddings.

A typical wedding in Poland lasts two days. That's right people: not one day, but two. The ceremony begins around one on a Saturday afternoon and the reception lasts until midnight on Sunday. We sure know how to celebrate and keep the party alive! Word of advice: if wedding crashing is your game, consider crashing a Polish wedding.

6. This famous celebrity is polish.

Yes, the funny and talented man, myth, and legend Steve Carell is in fact polish. Makes sense now, doesn't it? Boom. Mic drop.

7. Polka music can do no wrong in putting ANYONE in a good mood.


8. Babcia can always fix any problem.



9. The dinner table is always set with one extra plate to welcome any guest that may come over to the house that evening.


10. Who could deny our enchantingly wicked good looks.


Not to toot my own horn or anything ... actually I'm going to beep it. Beep. Beep.

I am Polish and proud.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
