Being a redhead is wonderful. You’re part of a group of people that make up only one percent of the world’s population. Being a redhead means you get to live life in the spotlight, much like a celebrity, except not really. Being a redhead means getting stopped multiple times a day by strangers. They have all sorts of questions about redheads and how they are different than other people. Here are a few of the common things redheads hear:

1. "Is your hair natural?"

Yes, it is! But isn’t that a rude thing to ask? If you walk up to a blonde and ask if her hair is naturally that color or if she dyed it that color she might get offended. And let’s be honest, it’s easy to tell a natural redhead from a dyed redhead. Just be courteous.

2. "Let me tell you about everyone I know who has red hair."

Honestly people, knowing a redhead is a special thing but other redheads don’t care about the color of your wife's ex husband's cousin’s hair.

3. "Can I touch your hair?"

It feels the same as your hair. Also, I don’t know you.

4. "Never dye your hair!"


Who do people think they are, telling people they don’t know that they can’t dye their hair? But it’s so beautiful! Yes, we know.

5. "Look, it’s your sister!"

Every time there is another redhead near, my friends feel the need to point and say “Hey, it’s your sister/brother!”

6. "My hair used to be that color."

Sometimes older people tell me that they used to have the same color hair as me. It makes me sad, I couldn’t imagine losing my red hair.

7. "You have the most beautiful hair I’ve ever seen."

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

8. "Put on sunscreen!"

I cannot stand when people tell me to put on sunscreen. I hate it even more the next day when I’m sunburned because I didn’t put on sunscreen.

9. "Is it true that you don’t have a soul?"

Is this a question or an insult? I haven't come up with a good come back to this one yet so feel free to share.

10. "I would die to have your color hair."

Really, you would die? I’m not even sure I would die for my own hair color.

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.
