Alima Means More Than Just Dance To Me
Emily Lydell

Alima means to me a group of individuals who love to dance and love each other.

I love being a part of such a great group on campus. Not only have I made such great friends in this group, but I've made some awesome memories too with these amazing people. Every year we get new people who bring different things to the table, which just adds to the experience.

Dancing has always been fun for me, but during college, it has become so much more. It has become an outlet for me during the stressful days of college. I can go to practice to dance a bunch in order to relieve my stress or forget about my worries. Alima has become a place where I go to dance, and that is it. I focus on dancing and try to shut out any worries or anxieties that I might have. Most of the time I end up forgetting what I was even stressed about.

Another thing that I love about this club is all the different kinds of dances that we do. Since we do dances from different cultures, it's also a learning experience. I learn actual choreography from those countries, like how cool is that! I can pull out some awesome moves whenever I go out to dance or at a dance party.

I've had such a positive experience with Alima. I love it and I'm so glad I joined my freshman year. I've learned a lot about myself through it, which has made me grow as a person. Everyone there has helped me in this growth, which makes it even more special. They are all so welcoming and loving. They are like a second family.

I think it's important for people to find something that they love to do, and to be involved whether you're in college, high school, or working; get involved somehow, especially in physical activities, to grow with people together.

It's definitely true what they say: that exercise makes you happier, and a happy wife means a happy life.

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.

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.
