5 Things I Want To See Before I Die

In life there are moments that are so magnificent, so beautiful, they change someone's life. Sometimes these moments are as simple as a look. Here are 5 life-changing things I want to see before I die.

A Mountain

I'm not talking about a green hill out in Tennessee (no offense Tennessee). I'm talking about a beautiful giant, like Everest, pictured here. I'm talking about MacBook wallpaper, like white top straight off a Busch light can. Something that'll take my breath away.

The Colosseum

One of the greatest architectural builds in history, the Colosseum is something I've wanted to see in person for a while. There's always that feeling when you see something in real life that you've only seen in photos that leaves you breathless.

Sydney Opera House

I have never been a fan of opera, but the architectural design of this opera house has always fascinated me. The way it shines at night surrounded by the still water is something I'd like to see first hand.

A Volcano

A mountain with fire coming out of it? What's not to love. Of course, volcanos can be devastating and terrifying, that's why I think it is such a rarity to see a great eruption without having to scramble for your life.

The Great Pyramids

Another architectural marvel that I would love to see first hands. These pyramids are giant, and it is a mystery how the Egyptians managed to construct such magnificent pyramids with no modern equipment.

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.
