There's plenty of small towns in America and we probably have plenty in common with all of them, but there's a certain community spirit you feel being from this one.


Everybody knows everything about everyone else.

I've straight up been asked if my moms best friends ex-husband's new girlfriend is nice or not….



All our parties are bonfires!



And what could be more fun…?

Though you might also find us out on the lake--day or night

That's right we have our very own lake. Man- made and everything!

It's half country and half suburban.

Most everybody owns at least a little land and if not, they're a part of the 5-6 subdivisions scattered around. So no, I'm not a farm kid but we own 2 acres and you can see cows from my front porch.

But did you know it was founded by a family from NYC?

Who doesn't love some historically true stories!

Our sports teams are a big deal.

Everyone comes out to cheer on the Warriors! Plus, just about all the athletes have made the front page of the newspaper at least once!

And so are the restaurants!

Ever heard of Justus drugstore? Not actually a drugstore but a fancy place to dine while in town. It was showcased on T.V and made multiple “Best restaurant” lists.

Overall we stand up for our own! Once you leave you realize just how much support you have gotten from this community. It's irreplaceable and missed by everyone that has left it behind!

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.

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.
