There is literally no way that this was your actual dream.

10 Thoughts While Listening To Someone's Dream

We all have those people, ones we aren't that close with but we know well enough to hang out with, that love to tell everyone their dreams. I'm not talking inspiring Martin Luther King Jr dreams or dreams that can be included in the "goals and desires" section of their lives. No, these are their literal nighttime unconscious mind dreams. It's not that sometimes people don't have interesting dreams, but these are the people who keep talking about their family you don't know and the weird things they did in his or her dream. And here's what is going through all of our minds during this ordeal:

1. Okay, maybe it'll be short. One of those dreams with a weird beginning but they just can't remember the rest.

2. Wait what? That's definitely in a movie. What movie was that in? I'm so positive they took that from a movie and are trying to pass it off as part of their dream! Terminator? No. Oceans? No. Whatever, it's for sure from a movie.

3. Seems like they are filling in the cracks with made up things.

4. Oh my gosh, how is this still going on?! This dream would take the entire night to happen.

5. What if I'm nearby later and they tell this dream to someone else? I cannot listen to this dream twice. Shoot, I stopped paying attention. "Uh huh" "Oh woah, no way, that's so weird."

6. Okay, now I know they are lying. No one on planet earth remembers this much of their dreams. Not to mention if this is actually happening in their dream they need help. Don't dream tells desires or something? This dude has some weird desires.

7. I wonder how many people have had to listen to this. Is this like their party story? Is this a dream they had like a week ago? Is this a like last night sort of thing? Or was this the one time they had like a really long dream and now they just tell it to everyone all the time to get through get togethers?

8. I cannot wait to walk away and start another conversation with anyone else when this is over. If it's ever over. Maybe this is all a dream.

9. That would be the most boring dream. Me, sitting at a party listening to someone else's dream. Sort of inception, sort of the most boring dream that could ever happen. Okay, no I remember waking up this morning. This is real life. I am just this bored.

10. It's over. I survived. And I did it all the while seeming interested. That's incredible. I'm incredible.

It might seem rude, and of course, when you tell a dream you expect people to be interested, intrigued even. Let's all be honest. Unless it's a very close friend, we don't care about anyone else's dreams. Not only do they not apply to us, they literally did not happen in reality. So next time you'd like to tell someone else your dream... Stop. Think to yourself. Would I want to hear this dream? Is it too long?

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.
