5 Reasons To Watch The Daytona 500
Senior Airman Eileen Meier

The Daytona 500 starts the beginning of the 2018 NASCAR season, and here are five reasons why this event will be even more exciting than it has ever been.

1) Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be the Grand Marshal

Can I get a Dale Yeah?!

2) The Rookies

Will Chase Elliott get his first win? How will Bubba Wallace do? Will they all wreck? I can't wait to watch!

3) The History

Daytona is almost at it's 60 year mark, so many greats have won there, such as, Junior Johnson, Richard Petty, Cale Yarbrough, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. The list of legends just go on and on.

4) Wrecks

If you like those kind of races, Daytona is known for "the big one" along with Talladega.

5) To Watch Danica Patrick Before She Retires

Danica Patrick will run the Daytona 500 and Indy 500 before she sets to retire in 2018. Patrick has done fairly well at Daytona, she won the pole in 2013, led five laps and finished eighth.

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.

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.
