To My Fellow Brothers In Alpha Phi Omega: Thank You
Palmer Lauri

1. Thank you for being my friend

When I first joined Alpha Phi Omega more than a year ago, I was lost. I didn't only gain brothers when I joined but I also gained a bunch of friends.

2. Thank you for all the wonderful service opportunities I get to be a part of

Part of being a part of a co-ed community service fraternity means that you have to complete a certain amount of service hours. I have gained so many wonderful experiences through my service work with APO. One of my favorite events we get to take place in is the Philles Red Goes Green game. This is a day of service that the Philles host where we collect recycling items from fans. It is a day full of fun and service!

3. Thank you for keeping me in check

Having experience with being on an exec board, I can truly say it is not easy work. There is a lot of work that happens behind the scenes that not everyone knows about. It can consist of long meetings and lots of hours. Sometimes you just need your brothers to fall back on to keep you in check and keep you motivated and for that I thank you.

4. Thank you for accepting me

My life has not always been the easiest when it comes to people accepting me for who I am. I have found a fantastic group of people who accepts me for who I am and who I truly believe I can be myself around.

5. Thank you for going through this process and organization with me

I couldn't imagine a better group of people to have as my best friends. Between our late-night chats and our dinner dates, I couldn't be more proud to call you all brothers.

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:

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.
