We all struggle with packing for college. Am I bringing too much? Too little? We never know! But one thing you can know is if you are packing anything that can be deemed EXTRA. If this is your style, you may want to consider packing some of these in your suitcase.

1. A disco ball

Might as well turn your room into a rave.

2. A girlfriend/boyfriend pillow

Who needs a boyfriend?

3. A scream jar

So you can let out all your anger in a healthy way as not to disturb your neighbors.

4. Your collection of PEZ dispensers

You are in college now. You've gotta amp up your cool factor.

5. Your pet tarantula

The best way to make sure you get the bathroom all to yourself.

6. 10 raw, whole chickens

Trust me. You'll want them for gifts.

7. Your Nicholas Cage t-shirt

What a conversation starter!

8. An electric blower

That way, you never have to pick up your clothes! Just blow them out of the way!

9. A box of 100 pre-packaged communion juices

For when you need Jesus but are in a hurry.

10. Glow-in-the-dark toilet paper

For when you are too drunk to turn the bathroom light on.

11. A massive bean bag chair that takes up your whole dorm room or living room

It'll just make your room homier.

12. A shrine to Weird Al Yankovic

Not only will you be deemed impeccably cool, but it'll show your classmates how hipster you are.

13. All of your participation trophies from growing up

You have to show that you are a team player and know how to be a part of something.

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.
