5 Reasons Why Amy Schumer Is The Most Dope
CNN

There are a lot of funny people in the world. Some are professional funny people like comedians and actors who get paid for their jokes and one-liners, and some are just regular Joe's and Joanne's who happen to make a funny every once in a while. One of my personal favorite funny people, and one of my role models, is Amy Schumer.

New York native, Amy has traveled all over the United States doing stand-up comedy, and has also made her way around the world on tour and while promoting her film "Trainwreck." Moreover, I often get funny looks when I say Amy Schumer is a role model of mine. I normally get a response similar to "Amy Schumer is your role model? Isn't she that girl who only talks about sex?" While yes, Schumer often talks about sex and sexual relations, there's much more to her and her story than just sex. In her book "The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo," Amy talks about her life, how she's come to be the person she is today and her favorite topic: sex. If you haven't already read it, I suggest you head to the nearest bookseller & pick up a copy. It not only enlightens us normal folk on her journey to becoming a successful comedian, but shows us why Amy Schumer is the most dope. The following are 5 reasons that are often overlooked that contribute to Amy Schumer's awesomeness.

1. She is a survivor.

Unknown to many, Schumer is a sexual assault, emotional, and physical abuse survivor.

2. Her parents are just as messed up as ours.

In her book, Amy Schumer often opens up about her struggle with her mom, a woman who often manipulated her as a child.

3. She experiences struggles just like us.

Amy's dad has MS. In her book, she opens up about how this has been a struggle for her.

4. She is a woman in a man's field.

Schumer has become the 4th highest earner among comedian's today. She is the first woman in the field to break onto the list of comedy's top earners.

5. She isn't your typical star.

Proud of her robust figure and what she stands for, as much as she hates being asked about it in interviews, Amy Schumer is changing Hollywood.

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.
