12 Ways Life Is A Lot Like A Donut
Jenna Leigh Bonner

Life is like a lot of things: a box of chocolate, a camera, a beautiful melody, a mountain, a train wreck. You can pretty much compare anything to life as long as you have enough motivation and creativity. So, let's see how life is like donuts!

1. There are a lot of different types:

You can have chocolate donuts, blueberry cake, jelly filled, etc. Everyone has their own thing that they like and all are so individual!

2. They look good on the outside but are sometimes awful on the inside:

A lot of people seem pretty awesome externally, but are actually fairly horrible. Reguardless of this, we still have to put up with them from time to time without smashing them.


3. Sometimes they're twisted:

Sometimes life gets weird and all mushed together. But, no matter what, we do our best to enjoy it and find some tastiness. Plus, some people prefer things a little twisted.

4. There is a huge whole in the middle:

Something always feels missing from life. Luckily for us, that little bit that gets taken out often becomes something wonderful and delicious all in its own right.

5. You take them whenever they're available, even if its awful:

Sometimes donuts suck (as mentioned above). But even then, we take them and eat them because hey, donuts, man.

6. Some parts are pointless, but enjoyable anyways:

Let's be real, sprinkles serve no purpose. Whatsoever. They add nothing to the donut. However, they look so pretty that just looking at them makes us happy. Things in life don't have to practical or purposeful in order to make us smile.

7. They're best at 2 a.m. with friends:

Donuts are literally always better late at night/early in the morning with friends. Similarly, life is better when you are enjoying life with people you love.

8. We can't prove they exist:

Time to get into a deep existential crisis: you can't prove anything exists outside of your own consciousness (Google "brain in vat" theory). So, we can't prove donuts exist either. That doesn't stop us from chomping in and enjoying a good one though! If you're in a constant existential crisis like me, remember to chill and enjoy life even when it doesn't seem real.

9. They're sweet and bring happiness:

This is self explanatory and true.

10. They eventually end:

This is also self explanatory and true.

11. Coffee makes them better:

Coffee makes life better. Or tea if you're a tea person. Or chocolate milk or something if you're that weirdo who doesn't like coffee or tea. Whatever your drink is, enjoy it with donuts and in life.

12. You eat donuts no matter what:

We will always love donuts. We love the sprinkles and cream and jelly and toppings. We eat them with friends at 2 a.m. and enjoy them even when they low key may not be "real". They make us happy and we enjoy the good moments. That is what life should be like.

Life is a lot like a donut, so enjoy it just the same.

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.
