If you don't know, Parks and Recreation is my fave show of all time. Like, I don't think you understand. As a dedicated fan, within the first 30 seconds of each episode I can tell you EXACTLY the plot, verbatim, which episodes are my favorite, why the first and last seasons are my least favorite, and a deep analysis of the character development, as I once did for my English classes. So, here are thoughts I have throughout the day and semester relating to my all time favorite show.

1. Trying to find ANYTHING in common with your group members:

Like hey, y'all. I'm Eva, please don't make me do the whole thing just because I'm an Ed major. K thanks. We can still be friends though!!!

2. When someone asks you what your grades look like:

Um, I wish for the sweet release of death.

4. When it's been snowing outside for 3 weeks and you wish for The Hell Fire because it's That Cold:

Shoutout to Boone for being 30 degrees in the morning. Please send help (or hand warmers).

5. When your professor tries to explain something to you for the 10th time:

I'm fine, you're fine, everythings fine!

6. When your professor asks you to dress "professionally" for a presentation:

I HATE PANT SUITS BUT I ALSO HATE DRESSES. I WANNA BE COMFY.

7. When you have to bring a friend for your date's friend:

"You bringin a friend for the homie". Bro, I'm not even bringing a me for you.

8. When people ask you what you're dressed as on Halloween:

Professional drinker. Also my fave costume, "drunk slut".

9. Trying to meet the word requirement on an essay like:

"Essay must be between 24-29 pages" lol okay.

10. When you pregame too much for the tailgate:

Shows up to the tailgate/function/semi/formal smashed.

11. When you get your Billhighway statement for the month:

Um, currently taking applications to be my sugar daddy.

12. Trying to convince yourself you don't need sleep during midterms/finals/hell week like:

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!

13. When your friend brings a double bottle of wine to the "study session":

I'm sorry. Homework, who?

14. Walking into class Monday after a hard weekend of partying:


Or at your Friday 9 am the day after a Thursday football game.

15. When your best friend who lives 6 hours away calls you on the phone:

I love you like crazy and I can't wait to see you over break. Like why did we decide to be adults and go to separate schools.

16. When your Mans Whos Not Your Mans shows up to the tailgate with another girl:

Like just because you don't wanna date me, doesn't mean you can date other people.

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.
