I can take notes and zone out, it's called multitasking.

Of course I take in every word my professor tells us, just sometimes (all the time) I tend to have other things occupying my mind. Especially with my laptop in front of me, the options are endless.

1. "Why am I here if the professor doesn’t take attendance?"

2. "Oh, wait, I pay thousands of dollars for this education that’s why."

3. "Ah, yes, please sit right next to me even though there are 100 other seats open."

4. "When does this class end again?"

5. "I WASN’T DONE WRITING DOWN THAT SLIDE."

6. "Wow, I could really go for some Chick-Fil-A right now."

7. "Glad my stomach just growled so loud it sounded like Chewbacca."

8. "How did this girl just spend 400 dollars online shopping beside me?"

9. "Now I kind of want to spend 400 dollars online shopping."

10. "That seems kind of important, guess I’ll write that down."

11. "I wonder what I’ll wear to the tailgate this weekend."

12. "Actually, I wonder what I’m going to wear tonight."

13. "OK, we’ve been on this slide for 15 min now, let’s get going please."

14. "If I leave discreetly, I bet no one would even notice."

15. "Great, only 30 minutes left, so basically a lifetime."

16. "Sh*t, when’s the test again?"

17. "I better reply to the group message before I forget."

18. "Might as well text everyone back while I’m at it."

19. "The professor is looking at me, just nod and act like you know what is going on."

20. "The class is supposed to end at 1:00, it’s 1:01, isn’t this illegal?"

The PowerPoint slides are truly fascinating don’t get me wrong, I just know that many other college students and I don’t think about the definition of a SWOT analysis or how to graph a linear equation the whole time during lecture.

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.
