2.And the college football rivalries are no joke.

8. Camo isn’t only worn for hunting.

9. You’ve been driving since your feet could reach the pedals.

10. Getting stuck behind a tractor on the highway was normal, but really annoying.

11. When you ask for sweet tea you get something close to syrup, but it’s delicious.

12. Dirt road riding is the best night time activity.

13. They’re called “lightning bugs.”

14. You know about the gnat line... I swear it's real!

15. Dryer sheets aren’t only used in the dryer...They keep the gnats away, too!

16.Bonfires are an every weekend thing.

17. Girls have everything monogrammed.

18. Saying “bless your heart” is the nicest way to insult someone.

19. “Yes ma’am” and “yes sir” are a must when talking to someone older than you.

20. “Probably just John burning some land again.”

21. You know what “mud bogging” is and you've even participated in it.

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.

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.
