5 Reasons Why University Of Delaware Is the Worst School

1. There are hardly any restaurant options on Main Street.

I mean there’s HoneyGrow, Iron Hill Brewery, Home Grown, Del Pez, Caffe Gelato, Deer Park Tavern, Klondike Kate’s, Taverna, Grotto Pizza, El Diablo, California Tortilla, Snap, Chipotle and more. But is that really enough? And who would want to go to Klondike Kate’s on a Tuesday? Half price nachos. That sounds terrible! After dinner, what are you supposed to do for dessert? There’s only Insomnia Cookies, Duck Donuts, Dairy Queen, Dunkin’ Donuts and Yogurt City. I mean who would want to create their own donut or order cookies at 2 am?

2. No one is successful after leaving the University of Delaware.

Joe Biden and Jill Biden attended the University of Delaware but no big deal. It is not like he was the Vice President of the United States or anything....and Joe Flacco? It is definitely not cool at all that the Baltimore Ravens quarterback who has won a Super Bowl graduated from Delaware. Not to mention he is the only quarterback in NFL history to win a playoff game in each of his first five seasons. But, yet again, there is no way you can become successful with a degree from UD.

3. Delaware is in the middle of nowhere.

I mean we are 15 minutes from Wilmington and the Christiana Mall but that is pretty much it. Oh and 30 minutes from Philadelphia, and we are close to Baltimore, D.C. and NYC but who cares about that? Deserted campuses are so much better!

4. The Study Abroad options are so limited.

Yes, UD was the first university to ever run a study abroad program in 1923 but who cares? Yes, you can go to pretty much any country that could be of interest of you including Argentina, Australia and Paris but no big deal.

5. Being a Blue Hen is so stupid.

Who would want to go to a school with one of the few female mascots in the country?

In all seriousness, being a Blue Hen is awesome and going to the University of Delaware is one of the best decisions I ever made! Once a Blue Hen, always a Blue Hen.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
