Dads are the first men to have our hearts. They treasure us and care of res and make us feel loved. We admire them and strive to make them proud. For those us lucky enough o have their dad as an active and involved aspect of their life, we become accustomed to having him around 24/7 to help us out of every sticky situation. Spider in your bedroom? Don't worry, he's right down the hall. Got a flat tire? He'll drive five minutes and help you change it. But once we leave the safety of his nest and go off to the great unknown that is college, we quickly realize just how often we needed our dad for help. These are just a few of the many things you probably calling and asking your dad.

1. "How do I set up my TV?"

Is it red cable to red cable? The screen is all fuzzy...now it's black.

2. "What are taxes?"

And do I need to pay them?

3. "Should I hang a picture with a nail or a screw?"

Which one will leave a smaller hole in my dorm wall?

4. "How do I write a check?"

Wait, do I even have a checkbook?

5. "I think my hair clogged the drain, what do I do?"

Ew, ew, ew, ew. Can't you just come and do this one for me?

6. "Can you book me a flight home?"

Don't you miss me already???

7. "What should I do with my life?"

I know I always hated when you told me what to do to, but please just for one last time- tell me what to do!

8. "Can you put money in my account, please?"

It'll be like an advance on my Christmas gift.

9. "How do I grill a burger?"

A barbecue sounded like a really good idea.

10. "Why hasn't Mom called me back?"

Did she die or something, it's been like two days.

11. "How does the stock market work?"

Everyone else in my Econ class seems to already know.

12. "So, my room will still be available when I graduate right?"

Free housing>>> paying for my own place

13. "Can you check my resume?"

And maybe have your work friends read it over too.

14. "Can you send that blue sweatshirt I left home?"

I really wanted to wear it yesterday.

15. "How do I survive without you here?"

Thank you Dad, I love you.

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.
