5 Things That Are Totally Underrated In College
Caitlin Ornatowski

Life can be a crazy adventure, but for the most part it's made up of an small, underrated things. Especially in college, the little things in life take on a whole new meaning. Here's a list of the top five things I have learned to appreciate more since I've been at college.

1. Halo Top ice cream

If you haven't had the pleasure of this low calorie, protein infused ice cream graving your lips, you need not waste anymore time on this article. Go to Kroger and buy yourself one of the 26 different flavors. My personal favorites are sea salt caramel, cookie dough, and oatmeal cookie.

2. Movie night with friends


There is nothing like the bond between friends that develops over an obsession for movies.

3. Yoga

Yoga = a relaxing workout, stretching, and a tiny nap

4. Speaking of naps...


30 minutes break before your next class? Nap. Three-hour break before your next class? Nap.

5. Volunteering

Whenever I found myself stressing over stupid, little things, I find it best to forget myself and my worries by giving back to the community. Find a soup kitchen, Salvation Army, or an animal shelter that you could start volunteering at regularly. It's good for the soul and you're blessed with the opportunity to make someone's life a little better.

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.

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.
