25 Signs You Go To UW-Madison

1. You are incapable of having an 8:50 class yet willingly wake up at 6:30 AM to buy football and basketball season tickets.


2. No matter how many times you walk up Bascom Hill, you can’t help but die a little inside every time you look up at that beautiful monster.

3. Your red and white overalls are your most prized possession.

4. Game days are the best days. Plain and simple.

5. Jumping Around on Saturdays is your favorite college tradition.

6. You’ve ordered Ian’s mac and cheese pizza at 12AM multiple times.

And probably regretted it the next morning...but ate that leftover cold pizza for breakfast too.

7. You’ve walked to class in sweltering heat, rain storms, blizzards, and days that feel like -50 degrees.

8.) You’ve busted out shorts on a 40-degree day.


9. Freak Fest is the ultimate Halloween destination, even when it’s below zero.

10. You are very devoted to your library, whether it’s College or Memorial, you are a ride-or-die type.

11. You’ve dragged your butt to the Farmer’s Market just for all that cheese!!!!!!

12. You are more than willing to eat ice cream in the dead of winter because, well, it’s Babcock ice cream. How can you refuse?

13. You’ve definitely taken a crafty Instagram picture of the colorful Terrace chairs.

14. Speaking of The Terrace, is there anything more beautiful in the summer? Or the spring? Or the winter or the fall?

15. You make sure to stop and pet every dog you see on campus.

16. You’ve made your way up the Mifflin Street Block Party, rain or shine (and managed to get a fake-arrest picture with a cop.)


17. You weren't entirely sure how to do all of the cheers during your first official Badger game, but now you can cheer them in your sleep.


18. You get emotional when you sing along to Varsity

19. You are constantly fueling the Minnesota-Wisconsin football rivalry by asking every Minnesota fan whose held the Axe trophy the longest.

Wisconsin has for 13 years by the way, but who's counting?

20. You’re consistently amazed at Bucky’s dance moves, sass, and ability to crank out 100s of push-ups.

21. You try to avoid the SERF at 5:00 because there will be nothing open. NOTHING OPEN!

22. You’ve partied in a dirty Langdon Street Frat House basement.

Don’t be ashamed, we’ve all done it.

23.) You know how to work hard. UW-Madison is the 10th ranked public institution in the nation, and 44th ranked in the world, so be proud of yourself!

24.) You also know how to party. UW-Madison is ranked the Top Party School in the nation, so once again, be proud of yourself. :)

25.) You have unexplainable pride for your school. You couldn’t imagine spending these 4 years anywhere else.

"When you say Wisconsin, you’ve said it all!”

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
