5 Friends You Should Have in College By Major
Petterson's

In your four years in undergrad, you will make friends with all different types of majors, from theater to pre-med. You will gravitate to the people that are mostly like you, same major, same interests, but you should really branch out and become friends with people outside of your comfort zone. Here are some friends you should have, by major.

1. Art

Anyone that is majoring in something of the arts whether its theater, music, actual art, etc, is someone you need to be friends with. Their creative personality and spontaneity will no doubt carry over into your life. Everyone needs a little fun craziness in college and these creative minds will help you with that.

2. Nursing

Your nursing friends will undoubtedly save your life consistently over the course of your college career. For some reason, us non-nursing majors just assume nursing majors know everything that a doctor would know, even as a first-year student, but even if they don't know they will give you some of the best advice on what to do. They'll probably be your surrogate mom who you call if you have a headache or don't feel good and they will come by with Tylenol and make the decision if you need to go see a doctor.

3. English

You're going to need a friend to go to the library with, and with English majors workloads you can almost guarantee that they will always need to go to the library. But other than that these guys are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, a little crazy, but that comes with the territory of willingly putting yourself in a position where you will most likely have to write more than 20 pages on any given week.

4. Business

Your business major friends will be your voice of reason. They understand how the world works and they have a good head on their shoulders. If you need someone to just tell it like it is, no sugar coating, you can probably bet that your business major friend is going to let you know.

5. Education

Everyone needs a teacher friend. Some of the most selfless, helpful, and inspiring people you can find. They will make time for you, even when there is no time to be made. It's in their nature. They'll always help you in every way they can, no questions asked, no thanks necessary, just because it's who they are.

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.

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.
