As a Jane Austen fan I’m always looking for new ways to enjoy her stories. I listed 6 adaptations of Austen novels in a previous list. Here are 4 more novels and movies for Austenites.

1. Austenland

Austenland is a novel by Shannon Hale about a thirty-something named Jane Hayes. Jane is an Austenite that decides to go to a resort in England called Austenland where she gets to experience the Regency era for three weeks. She starts to realize the fantasy isn’t all it’s cracked up to be as Austen-like events start happening around her. The novel is a romance with a gothic mystery sequel, Midnight in Austenland. The novel was adapted into a charming and hilarious film starring Keri Russell.

2. Longbourn

Jo Baker’s Longbourn is an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Servants are mostly anonymous figures in the background of Austen’s novel, but Baker’s novel put them in the spotlight. The novel follows Sarah, a housemaid. Class was a huge part of Regency society and Longbourn addresses class in the Regency era in a way that Austen chose not to.

3. Lost in Austen

This is a choose-your-own-adventure book. With this book you can see if you have what it takes to survive an Austen novel. You start in Pride and Prejudice as Elizabethand your mission is to marry well and for love. Your choices will dictate which novel you end up in and whether or not you complete the mission.

4. Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe

This is a modern day gender swap of Pride and Prejudice by Melissa de la Cruz. Darcy Fitzwilliam is a beautiful and elite woman who lives in Pemberley, Ohio. At her parents’ Christmas bash she meets Luke Bennet, their smart, sardonic neighbor from a family of five brothers. They don’t exactly hit it off, but they just might mean more to each other than they realize.

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.
