I often forget, like most, the true beauty that every state holds when one is willing to see it for what it really is. Tennessee is one of the most underrated states in my opinion. It has so much to offer, from beautiful nature scapes, an abundance of history, stunning architecture, and of course the culture dominated by music.

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.

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."

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.
