From A-Z, Here's Your Guide To Halloween

Halloween is a popular holiday that is celebrated throughout the world. It originated from Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival. People during the festival would light bonfires, and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. When Pope Gregory the third designated November 1 as All Saints Day incorporated some of the Samhain Traditions. The evening before All Saints Day was called All Hallows Eve, but later was called Halloween instead. Here's a guide to Halloween.

Autumn is the best season, in my opinion. I love Autumn for various reasons; temperature, the holidays, and the beauty of it; to name a few.

Candy is one of the best things about Halloween. Be careful with cemeteries. You never know who or what you will come across.

Pumpkin seeds are good! If you've never had pumpkin seeds, you should try them. Painting and carving pumpkins are fun as well. Growing up, I carved pumpkins, but now I would rather paint them.

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.

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.
