97 babies... this is our year! This year will be full of celebrating 21st birthdays... I don't think anyone's liver is quite prepared for this year.

1. 97 Babies... it's our year

The year that the babies born in 97 are finally 21! So many drunk nights in our future celebrating the birthdays of our friends.

2. Waking up on your birthday

You only turn 21 once... gotta make sure everyone is aware that it's your birthday.

3. Your underage friend

Their day will come... the least they can do is at least make sure you don't die... right? They know you'd do the same for them.

4. Walking into the bar

5. Ordering your first drink

Not feeling picky... just bring me anything with alcohol in it!

6. Drinking with your older friends

As the baby of the friend group, you're excited to be drinking in the bar with all of your friends... while they've already had years of this experience.

7. Finally 21 with your best friend

Years of being the DD are over... now you won't have to get out of your bed at 2 am to go get your friends because you'll be stumbling right next to them walking home.

8. Drunk and hungry

*Someone asks if you want another drink*

9. Late night decisions

If you keep drinking, you can't get a hangover... right?

10. After 1:30 am

It's getting close to closing time yet you're still getting drinks handed to you.

11. Reality of getting home

You'll say you jumped out of a moving car... they'll say you fell out of the car when it was parked... tomatoe tomato

12. The morning after

The day after will be a rough one

13. Seeing friends the day after

Let's be real... we probably look as bad as we feel.

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.
