3 Reasons to Read a Manga
Loquaciousreaders via Blogspot

Humans have invented many things to entertain themselves. Activities ranging from outdoor games like football, soccer, baseball to indoor games like chess, monopoly and so on to reading books. But, let me focus on the reading part. There are many things we read for entertainment like magazines, newspaper, blogs, comics etc. These are the items we are familiar with but I want to talk about a material that is popular, but not as popular as these. Manga.

I’m pretty sure most of you have heard, and luckily, have read at least one. Manga is technically the Japanese version of a comic, which you read from right to left. If you have not read one yet, then I’ll give you three reasons why you should.

1. It’s an awesome time pass

Haven’t you had a day where you had watched everything on Netflix, played all games, and there were no good books to read? Well, I’ll tell you a secret. You should try manga. Manga has a wide variety to choose from. It includes all sort of genres too.

2. Manga tends to have an awesome story line

Well, I mostly read manga for the story. The story is mostly good and you get hooked very quickly. The stories are illustrated with great details too. Stories are usually different from one manga to another so it’s always something new to read.

3. They are very relatable to your life

Besides all the big eyes, cute faces and spiky hair, the gist of the story is so relatable. The ups and downs of life, the happy moments, and the depressing moments are all represented properly which makes the events happening in manga very real. It feels like you’ve been through the same situation as the character in the manga which makes it even more fun to read.

If you have decided to read one by now, please do so promptly. You might have been missing a whole lot of good things.

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.
