You May Be A Wino If...

Would you prefer "wine enthusiast" to describe your interest?

You May Be A Wino If...

Do you self-identify to what is referred to as a "wino," or maybe you prefer "wine enthusiast?" Either way, you've been known to enjoy more than a little wine in your day. Here are some things you may identify with:

1. Sharing your wine isn't ideal.

Unless it's a special occasion, why would you share your good wine with someone? It's B.Y.O.B. unless you expressly state, "Let's share this bottle." How dare anyone assume they can share your wine.

2. There is not a glass big enough for your wine.

There's a lot of effort that goes into pouring the glass, drinking the glass, and pouring more. It could be easier with one huge glass, bigger than your head. You're trying to relax anyway, and that relaxation doesn't involve putting more than the necessary amount of effort into relaxing by the constant cycle of pouring glasses.

3. You're always on the lookout for new contraptions for your wine consumption.

Don't pretend you've never heard of, considered, or even owned the wine bra flask. Maybe you want to take sips of wine on your hike instead of water. Perhaps you simply want to sit on the couch and sip your wine like a juice box at the end of the day. It's important to have wine nearby, at all times.

4. You're not against drinking straight from the bottle.

Sometimes you just don't have a glass available, but you still want to drink your wine. There's nothing wrong with cutting out the middle man and drinking straight from the bottle.

5. Wine is a serving of fruit, right?

Wine is practically grape juice. Grape juice that's been fermented. Does wine still count as a serving of fruit? It comes from grapes, so it must, right? Make sure if the "juice" stops pouring out of the box, you take out the bag and squeeze it out manually. There's always wine left in the crevices.

6. Even cheap wine can be good wine.

Cheap wine is good wine that wasn't good enough for someone. You know who it's good enough for? You, because you're on a budget and enjoy wine.

7. You saw this and wondered how you could get your wine in a water cooler.

Maybe if you poured it in through a funnel and slowly tipped it upright, you could put your wine in and have a wine cooler.

8. In wine, there is love.

Who needs a significant other when you have wine? Wine doesn't complain. Wine accepts you as is unconditionally.

9. Having wine is a religious experience.

You know who else liked wine? Jesus. Even if you aren't Christian, you can acknowledge Jesus as a religious figure with good taste as he obviously enjoyed wine if he took the time to turn water into it. Jesus was a wine enthusiast. Be like Jesus; make a party great with wine.

10. You've been asked or wondered this question yourself at some point.

Sometimes when listing off the varieties of wine in your possession, you or someone else asks, "How much wine do you have?" The answer: Not nearly enough.

11. You've partaken in the experience known as wine "tasting."

You can make a whole day of visiting different vineyards and wine tasting. What could be better than drinking multiple varieties of wine for a few hours out of your day? It's a wine enthusiast's ideal day.

12. You have the full intention to continue this obsession for life.

Wine has been found to improve your heart health. Heart health is important, and that's why you have no plans on slowing down anytime soon. When you're 100 it will be because you declared "Wine Wednesday" a weekly holiday.

I hope you read this with a glass of wine in your hand. If not, go get a glass, and read it again.

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.
