1. There is no bagel better than a Quaker Ridge bagel and you will fight anyone who disagrees.

Don't even try to argue with us. You will lose.

2. And obviously, there is nothing better than a slice of pizza from Deanna's.

"Hey man, I'll take a plain slice and a barbeque chicken slice."

3. When describing what the high school looks like, you compare it to Hogwarts.

"It is so big, it has 4 wings. Imagine Hogwarts!"

4. And when you see the lakes in front of the high school, it brings back terrible memories of running around them for sports teams' practices!

I honestly can't even look at them without being out of breath.

5. You spent countless weekends roaming around New Roc City in middle school.

You were either playing mini golf, going to the movies, playing at the arcade, or eating at Applebee's. You did this every weekend.

6. In high school, it was completely normal to end your night at McDonald's.

The McDonald's on North Ave was the place to be at one a.m. on a weekend.

7. You bring up "The Shot" by Khalil Edney anytime you can.

"Do you remember "the shot" on ESPN? He is from New Ro!"

8. You definitely used to write or scribble in your friends names when signing into the bathroom at the high school.

The security guards would yell at you and make you come back and fix it.

9. What's a homecoming dance? It was all about the homecoming football game.

Ah, the homecoming football games. I am just going to leave it at that.

10. Now that you are older, you go to Beechmont whenever you are home and have a high school reunion!

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.
