12 Things You'll Understand If Your Relatives Are From The Country

1. The only time you see most of them is during a family reunion or Christmas.

Everyone has moved everywhere, so holidays are the time of gathering up again!

2. There are so many of them that it's hard to keep track of who's who.

Are you Great Aunt Cheryl? or maybe 3d cousin Jeanette?

3. It takes hours to go see them, which makes it feel like the day has gone by.

Its crazy how tiring just riding in a car for hours is!

4. Your cousins always say you're a "City girl or city boy."

Its probably true, but at least you have air conditioning and wi-fi at all times.

5. They never want to come visit you because the city is too dangerous!

Even though it isn't NYC, they still think there are crimes on every street corner.

6. They talk about news in the country you've never heard about.

For some reason everyone knows the story about the priest's lost dog except you...

7. They take games like baseball or soccer to a whole new level.

You finally understand where you get your competitive side.

8. The desserts they serve are complete perfection.

No store bought cookies here, fresh made desserts from natural ingredients is the way to go.

9. No matter how hard you try, you'll never really remember how everyone is related.

Your parents have tried to draw a family tree, but you still can't fully comprehend it all.

10. You dislike their taste in country music, but they dislike your taste too.

Can't we just decide on one song for the party?!

11. You don't always love to talk and see everyone.

Sometimes you're just in an anti-social mood, but you still have to interact with people anyways.

12. But you always hate leaving.

What? It's time to go already?! But we just got here!

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.
