    When I chose to attend Marquette University, I had a lot of questions regarding class sizes, program offerings, student population, credit requirements, and extracurricular activities. Now that I've finished my first semester, it's time for me to tackle the real questions: the ones that keep my peers and me up at night.

    1. What does "ring out ahoya" even mean?

    2. Does anyone even know what it means?

    3. Is it pronounced "Jeh-zoo-it" or "Jeh-shoo-it"?

    4. Why must the church bells go off so often, thus waking me from my naps?

    5. Why does everything in the Spirit Shop have to be so cute yet so expensive?

    6. When will Qdoba start accepting meal swipes?

    7. Are the hot cookies actually safe to eat?

    8. Why is everyone from a suburb of Chicago?

    9. Why don't the LIMOs operate 24/7 during the winter?

    10. Our colors are blue and gold, so why does the gold always look like yellow?

    11. Why can't Marquette Place stay open on weekends?

    12. Could I promise to donate my body to the cadaver lab once I die in exchange for a full ride?

    13. Who is the mysterious voice that comes over the loud speaker at 11 p.m. in Raynor?

    14. Where can I sign up to be the mysterious voice that comes over the loud speaker at 11 p.m. in Raynor?

    15. Can I have the recipe for the Brew muffins?

    16. Should I feel judged for ordering Jimmy John's when it's right down the road?

    17. How has McCormick not collapsed yet?

    18. Why is the dining hall "ice cream" such a sad excuse for ice cream?

    19. And why is there not a quality ice cream place within walking distance?

    20. Why was my lecture in Marquette Hall 300 actually on, like, the 7th floor?

    21. Can there be an underground tunnel from Straz to the rest of campus so I don't have to cross those scarily busy streets just to get some fresh greens and stir fry?

    22. Does MUPD not realize everyone is jaywalking all the time, or do they just not care?

    23. If I get hit while jaywalking does that mean I won't get any money?

    24. Where can I buy a backpack like all the athletes have so people think I'm an athlete?

    25. Only 50 dining dollars? Really?

      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.

      Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

      Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

      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.

      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.
