Of all the wonderful role models the '90s gave us (e.g., Daria, Sabrina, Topanga, etc.) Buffy Summers is one of the most inspirational. Over seven seasons of Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," she handled classes, friends, boy drama, taking care of her sister and, oh yeah -- saving the world from unspeakable evil on a regular basis.

"Buffy" as a show was revolutionary for the way it combined traditional supernatural tropes with intense, real-world issues. People don't watch "Buffy" just to see a small blonde girl kicking vampire butt; they watch for the lovable, multi-dimensional characters and their powerful relationships to each other.

Buffy Summers was not perfect. She got sad, angry, depressed and often thought about abandoning her Slayer title and withdrawing from the world. But in the end Buffy is a role model because she kept trying. She never gave up fighting for what mattered. Even after losing her first love, being betrayed by her best friends and kicked out of her home, Buffy still worked to protect the people she cared about. She never lost hope or her impressive punning skills.

If you ever feel overwhelmed, like you don't have the strength to even make it through the day, look to Buffy Summers to remind you that all you really need is yourself.

1. "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live."

2. "Strong is fighting! It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day."

3. "Seize the moment, because tomorrow you might be dead."

4. "I may be dead... but I'm still pretty."


5. "I don't need a guy right now. I need me."

6. "No guy is worth your life, not ever!"

7. "No weapons, no friends, no hope. Take all that away and what's left? Me."

8. "Human rules don't apply. There's only me. I am the law."

9. "I don't want to protect you from the world. I want to show it to you."

10. "I'm the thing that monsters have nightmares about."

11. "If the apocalypse comes, beep me."

Even if your school's not on a Hellmouth, college can still get tough sometimes. So when you're feeling like you can't handle all those end-of-the year projects, presentations and exams, take some tips out of the Slayer Handbook and think to yourself, "What would Buffy do?"

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.
