Beta Series

As many of you may have watched last Wednesday night, the People's Choice Awards of 2016 premiered on CBS. Many celebrities were nominated and received awards for their impressive acting, singing, film directing, etc. One comedian in particular won two awards for "Favorite Humanitarian" and "Favorite Daytime TV Host".

This, ladies and gentlemen, is Ellen DeGeneres! I'm assuming most of you know who she is, but if you don't, here is an awesome website with a biography and documentary about her life. Basically, she is one of the world's greatest role models and in honor of that, here are 10 reasons why Ellen DeGeneres is amazing.


1. She's so De(GENERES)

I mean, her last name says it all. Ellen is simply one of the most caring individuals in the world. She is always helping people in whatever way she can, and hundreds of peoples' lives have been changed for the better thanks to her.

2. She's not afraid to be 100% herself

Ellen is openly gay and proud about her sexuality. She even jokes about it on her show sometimes. Because of this, she's become a role model for thousands of people and an advocate for equality.

3. Her dancing is on point & makes others want to dance too!

If you watch her show, you'll know that she dances with her audience at the beginning of every episode and then people from the audience dance during commercial breaks. Celebrities are also encouraged to dance when coming on the show.

4. She's hilarious & always puts people in a good mood

Ellen's jokes are the best way to de-stress after a tiring day of classes or a tough day at work. Whatever it is, there's a 99.99% chance that you'll be in a better mood after watching one of her episodes.

5. She scares celebrities & it's hysterical!

Seriously, I could watch videos of Ellen scaring people all day long and not get tired!

6. She promotes the importance of education

Ellen and her sponsors (like Shutterfly and Target) have written countless checks to students, teachers, and schools so they can continue being educated/educating.

7. She's a Cover Girl!!!

Even though Ellen doesn't wear a ton of makeup or dress "girly", she's a Cover Girl. This is super important because she's broken the stereotype of what is considered "beautiful", and that's inspirational to millions of girls!

8. She genuinely cares about her staff

Ellen actually knows who her staff members are and frequently interacts with them on the show. Many of them are part of skits, games, surprises, etc. and she even sometimes shows baby pictures of first time parents!

9. Her show is truly entertaining & fun to watch

People definitely appreciate the spoof videos, games, musical performances, and dances that are part of the show. No wonder it's so hard to get tickets to be in the audience!

10. She promotes kindness

In fact, Ellen says the same line at the end of every single episode, which is...


A huge congratulations goes out to Ellen for being an incredible role model, hilarious talk show host, and most importantly, a wonderful human being. You make millions of people all over the world happier each day, and for that, you deserve an unlimited amount of awards!

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.
