Here are a few of my favorite books. Whether you're into nonfiction or tales, there's something on this list for you!

1. Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

If you haven’t read this yet, make sure it’s on your list. My favorite book of all time, it has completely changed my perspective on materialism, hope, and provided a constant reminder to stay grounded despite “currents”.

2. Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance

Whether you’re into entrepreneurship or not, there’s much to learn from one of the most ambitious people of our time. His journey came with countless hurdles, but his consistency and ability to accomplish the impossible is awe inspiring.

3. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

Also another very popular book, this gives practical tips on how to give off a better impression to others. Countless people accredit this book to a change in their lives, and it’s worth a shot.

4. The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter by David Sax

This book argues how analog will never die despite the digital age. Sax makes a strong argument for it and opens our minds to new ideas.

5. Freakonomics by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven Levitt

This book encourages you to think about things differently, and gives a lot of real-life examples of super weird statistics that stay in your mind!

6. Food: A Love Story by Jim Gaffigan

Jim Gaffigan is a super funny comedian - this book is very light-hearted and good for easing the soul.

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.

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.
