12 Things To Look Forward To In 2018
Kaique Rocha

Wowza! 2017 has passed already, my friends. It’s insane. I hope all of you had a wonderful and magical year. Sometimes we get so caught up in the moment that we forget what’s right in front of us, and I think a lot of us practice this annually. Alas, the year has flown by, and we’re basking in the last month. May 2018 bring you everything you have ever wanted and most of all--happiness! But, in this last month of the year, if you need a little pick-me-up, here are some things to look forward to in 2018:

1. Sunflowers.

Can you believe it? Sunflowers will rise again in 2018. Think of all of the wonderful sunflowers coming back to life. It will be a wonderful and majestical experience. This year, you should seek to pick some of the world’s prettiest flowers and give some to your friends and family. Bonus: sunflowers make for great decor!

2. 2018 Winter Olympics.

Yes, the Olympics are coming back this year, and they will be held in Pyeonchang, South Korea. Get ready for your favorite skiers and ice skaters to make an epic return!

3. New things to write.

A fresh start is something we all need! You can buy a new journal and write whatever the heck you want in it! Start a blog, make viral tweets, come up with a clever Instagram caption, start a journal, write for Odyssey...the options are endless! Write your heart away!

4. Summer freedom.

Feeling sad in the winter? Don’t forget that right around the corner is the first day of summer! This happens annually, but there’s something so refreshing upon taking your last final and speeding down the highway jamming to your favorite tunes and anticipating hugging your dog. Freedom at its finest.

5. Movies.

Movies create such a great experience for many. No matter what’s going on in life, a good movie has the power to make a proficient change. Look out for Jurassic World 2, Incredibles 2, Ocean's 8, Barbie, and much more! Get pumped movie buffs!

6. Spring cleaning.

Not only is springtime a great excuse for redecorating, but 2018 is also such a new and fresh year, that it will be impossible to resist change. Take this time to reflect on your home space--do with it what you will--and create an environment you truly love.

7. New puppies and kittens!

Millions of puppies and kittens will be born in 2018. Think of all of the tiny little fluffers running around. They will all require names, homes, and infinite love and attention, so be sure to swing by your local animal shelter and adopt!

8. 2018 FIFA World Cup.

This event will take place in Russia and will be sure to wow spectators! This sporting event is another great one to host a party to, or you can invite a bunch of friends over and cheer for your home countries. Also, it’s a great excuse to make themed desserts.

9. Fall semester.

Fall semester is always better than spring semester--academically speaking. You are more determined and rested! Be pumped for fall 2018, get the classes you want and deserve, create a stable routine, and work hard, but don’t forget balance!

10. Women driving in Saudi Arabia.

On June 24th, 2018, Saudia Arabia will officially allow women to drive! This is going to be an epic and historical day. Keep your eyes open for more societal changes happening after this.

11. Sunrises.

I love a good sunset, but for me, a sunrise is unlike no other. Being awake in that moment and seeing the new day is so pure and wonderful. Good news for me, and those in agreement with me, 2018 will have 365 sunrises! YAS QUEEN SUN!

12. Christmas!

2018 will bring another Christmas--how can we be so lucky? Let’s vow to watch Polar Express every day in the 2018 holiday season, because we’ve totally never done that before (pshhh…).

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.
