An Etsy Product That Your Inner Hipster Needs
ALVIN INDUSTRIES

I absolutely LOVE Etsy! The products that I see make me so happy that there are so many people that can do such great things with their hands and trade. Sometimes, you find a hidden gem within the website:

Enter: Alvin Industries from Austin, Texas!

I just received my package from them today, and I realized that I had to write an article about it!

The Etsy account makes beautiful REAL wood and bamboo cases and keys for your Macbook laptops with backlight options, allowing you to unleash your inner hipster.

Now, some of you understand that wood is not the best material for anything (i.e. knife handles and such) due to its absorbent nature in regards to bacteria, sweet, and everything else, which is understandable. However, the interesting thing about the typeface and the cover is that both are treated to prevent absorption as well as to keep the wood in good condition for as long as possible.

There isn't much more to say on this beautiful product other than the great customer service and beautiful design! It was a little pricey due to shipping and it being real wood, but it is extremely worth it!

In all circumstances, Alvin Industries includes a card that tells your how to care for the wood as well as tack it on, and it even has a promotional code if you want to make another purchase! Fantastic!

Too bad I have a Google Pixel (which in my opinion, switching from iPhone 6 to Google Pixel was the best move ever), because I can't get this beautiful real-wood skin. If you search around his Etsy page enough, you can find a treasure-trove of thirteen wood decals for your phone. He also makes iPhone cases, which may not be completely protective, but still look pretty awesome!

So in conclusion, you guys have to go check this guy out. He does not disappoint!

If you want to check it out, here is his URL!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
