6 Things To Know About Rally Week 2018
Dance Marathon at Florida State University

The time is officially here! Dance Marathon at Florida State University's annual Rally Week starts this Monday and is full of events for you to attend, while supporting Shands Children's Hospital and FSU College of Medicine's Pediatric Outreach Program. Before the week starts, there's six things you should know about Rally Week.


1. The First Annual DM Cook Off.

Monday night not only marks the first day of Rally Week, but it's also the first annual DM Cook Off! Students will be competing head to head making our miracle children's favorite dishes! Think "Chopped" but for the kids. Head to Union Green from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and sample some childhood classics for only $5! You can buy your tickets by donating to yourself through your Donor Drive account and putting the event in the comment section. If you don't have a fundraising account, you can sign up to make one or donate to a friend!

2. DM's Got Talent.

Another night of Rally Week, another new event! Tuesday night head to Moore Auditorium for DM's Got Talent. Dancers and fundraisers will be competing in an old fashioned talent show at 6:30. You can purchase your pre-sale tickets for $5 You can buy your tickets by donating to yourself through your Donor Drive account and putting the event in the comment section. If you don't have a fundraising account, you can sign up to make one or donate to a friend. You can also pay $7 at the door!

3. Celebration of Miracles.

In-between your commute head to Landis Green between 10:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. for the biggest birthday party on campus! Play games, get some party favors, and celebrate all of the miracles and birthdays we've made happen thanks to our incredible donors and fundraisers. This event is free and open to everyone!

4. FTKolor.

The coolest and most colorful event all year is happening on Thursday: FTKolor! Except, this event has gotten a revamp... it's at night, the paint is glow in the dark, and there's a DJ competition! Any and everyone should take part in this event at Heritage Grove. Pre-sale registration for this event is $15 which includes your commemorative white T-shirt (you know, for the paint to go on), glow sticks, and entrance into the event! Make sure to get your tickets early, but don't fret if you can't buy pre-sale, because registration will be available at the door for $20. The event starts at 7:00 p.m. and you can register here!

5. Dancer Appreciation Day.

The best way to end Rally Week is with free breakfast and some love to our dancers. Friday on Landis Greek all dancers are invited for some free as a token of our appreciation for all of their hard work throughout the year. Not only that, but Dancers will also get some other prizes, only if they're on Landis Green, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

6. It's all for the kids.

The reason we come together for Rally Week is to show that together, as a student body, we can be the difference between a life in a hospital and a shot at a real childhood. It's about providing research to find a cure and giving parents just an ounce of ease as they deal with one of the most traumatic experiences alongside their child. Let's rally to end pediatric illness and let's rally together to celebrate Dance Marathon at FSU's 23rd year!

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.

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.

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.
