18 Things All Tomboys Know To Be True
http://www.autostraddle.com/more-than-words-tomboys-r-us-225569/


1. As a kid, you could be found playing street hockey, perfecting your spiral, or practicing free throws; not playing with dolls.

You whooped boys at sports on the daily.




2. You aren't afraid of a little dirt.

The muddier the better!




3. You grew up wearing your brothers' hand-me-downs.

You probably still dress like a boy 99.9% of the time.



4. Salad really isn't your thing.

Keep the plants to yourself, please and thank you.



5. You're more than competent when it comes to sports knowledge, and it REALLY irritates you when people question that.

Don't expect me to recite stats if you can't do it either...



6. Openly talking about emotions makes you uneasy.

Touchy feely conversations? Yuck.



7. Clothes shopping is actually the death of you.

The only way you'll partake is if there will be food involved.



8. You never really perfected the art of hair and makeup.


But WHY are there 17 different brushes just for eyeshadow?



9. You always got in trouble for being 'too rough' in sports.

"sorry for fouling out for the 3rd game in a row, coach."




10. You took gym class waaaay too seriously, and weren't afraid to call the slackers out.

KNEES TO CHEST, LADIES!



11. Flirting was never really your strong-suit.

So you pretty much just avoid doing it.



12. People are always surprised at how nicely you clean up, not that it matters to you.

Why would I waste hours of my life just to be restricted and uncomfortable?



13. Because the mere thought of wearing high heels makes you cringe.

It's not a matter of if I'll fall, it's a matter of when.



14. You can proudly recite every line of "Remember the Titans".

"Everywhere we goooooo (everywhere we goooooo), people wanna knooowww..."



15. As well as "The Sandlot".

"You're KILLIN' me, smalls."




16. Because of your hyper-competitive spirit, "play-fighting" becomes a brawl in .2 seconds.

Don't test me.



17. You've been told countless times that you're just like "one of the guys".

Tell me somethin' I don't know.



18. At the end of the day, you'll always be proud to call yourself a tomboy.

Live it. Love it.

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.
