After seven seasons on-air, I've gotta say, the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department was like my family. Whether it was Tom's high-end sense of fashion or Ron's love of bacon, I could relate! The scapegoat of the show, Jerry, is one of the most hilarious characters, for the sole reason that no one pays much attention to him, and when they do, they're picking on him for something completely out of his control. They office is too lazy to remember his name so they rattle off something that sounds familiar, they're always quick to judge when someone's "pulled a Jerry!", and even take up a collection every time Jerry does something stupid.

You might know a few Jerry's in your own life. But in case you don't, you can always blame Jerry Gergich. Here are some everyday, real life things you can blame Jerry for!


1. When you get to your exam and the only pencil you have is out of lead.

2. When you drive all the way to Chick-fil-a on Sunday before you realize its closed.

3. When the clothes you ordered online don't look the same when they arrive at your doorstep.

4. When you endorse someone on LinkedIn and they don't endorse you back.

5. When you pay $300+ for a book and only get $5.67 for it when you sell it back.

6. When you wear a white article of clothing and get something on it in 15 minutes or less.

7. When you're at work and look at your phone and see it's 3:20, then look back 3 hours later to see it's only 3:21.

8. When everyone decides to stop texting you back at once.

9. When your final grade is a 79.8 and your professor doesn't round up.

10. When you paint your fingernails and smudge them three seconds later.

11. When you're walking on the sidewalk and a car drives through a big puddle and splashes you.

12. When you accidentally burn a bag of popcorn.

13. When your favorite character dies in your latest Netflix binge series.

14. When you're tagged in all the worst pictures possible on Facebook.

15. When you wear sweatpants, a teeshirt too big, and last night's makeup to class and "just happen" to consecutively see all the cutest guys on campus.

16. When you wake up from a nap and you're still tired.

17. When you go to McDonald's and the ice cream machine is broken.

18. When you forget you just brushed your teeth and take a big gulp of orange juice.

19. When people give you their opinions and you didn't ask for them.

20. When it starts to freak storm out of nowhere when there was 0% chance of rain in the forecast.

Of course, this is just the beginning. There is a multitude of reasons to blame Jerry. Or Garry. Or Larry. Or Terry. Just remember: when in doubt, blame a Gergich.

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.
