As time goes on, it is an inevitable factor that you will get older, but wouldn't it be incredible to be young forever? You would be a modern day Peter Pan, and man-oh-man it would be great. A lot of things would be so much simpler in this world. As you grow older, you look around yourself, at the children around you, and constantly think, "Oh to be that young again." Although I am only 20 years old, there are still many people in this world younger than me that I look at and think this to myself. Yeah growing up obviously has its perks, but if I could be frozen at any age I wanted too, I can't say I would be too upset about it, at least for some time. Within the past two years I have been indulged with stress, responsibilities, strange relationships, and other things that are physically, and emotionally draining. If only I had Peter Pan syndrome, or a couple sips from the fountain of youth, and I could be young and stress free for a lifetime. Here are a few of the perks about being young forever:


1. Not a single worry in the world (unless it's what toy to play with).


2. You can eat whatever you want, whenever you want.


3. You can nap/sleep for and undetermined period of time.


4. Having a boundless energy supply.


5. The toys are so much better - simple toy phones rather than iPhones.


6. Your outfits almost NEVER have to match.


7. The television may be your best friend.


8. Unless, you really do have a best friend, in which, arguments are only over what game to play.


9. Very very very few responsibilities aka you can do whatever you want, when you want - for the most part.


10. The hardest work you'll get will be addition and subtraction problems.


11. You can color whenever you please.


12. You can burst into song, singing "Forever Young," whenever you please, because well, it is the truth.



13. There is never a thought, or worry, about getting your heart broken.


14. You don't have to worry about impressing anyone.


15. Saying "I love you" is not something you overthink.


16. Trust is almost never an issue.


17. Did I already say you can eat WHATEVER you want!!


18. You never have to think about death, or living today like it's your last.


19. You still have so much innocence left.


20. Money stresses aren't a thing.


21. Smiling is never forced.


22. Your dreams will never disappear.


23. Pain is so easily forgotten.


24. You are not ridiculed for mistakes.


Nobody actually wants to grow up - we just want the freedom to use our youth.

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.
