24 Things That Lasted Longer Than The Alley

As I'm sure every Rutgers student knows by now, the infamous "Alley" (only infamous through because it only lasted 11, or so, days), was shut down by University officials last week through a tweet reproduced. Needless to say, students are outraged calling for a protest of football games until the student tailgate is reinstated.

The Alley was officially opened prior to the first home game of the season against Howard University on September 10th. It was intended to be a student tailgate in hope to have higher attendance at games and seemed to be working too! The first two (and only two) games the Alley made an appearance, attendance was higher, the student section was filled, and the Scarlet Knights won both games. Sounds like something to keep going, am I right?!?! So without further ado, here are 24 things that lasted longer than our beloved Alley! Be sure to share this with your friends to raise awareness of #FREETHEALLEY

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.
