College towns run on coffee. I think UMich students will agree that Ann Arbor is a town blessed with an abundant access to caffeine at almost any hour of the day.

You can't really go wrong with your source of joe, but you definitely will have a different experience wherever you go. Between the eccentric slew of small business coffee shops or the classic Starbucks or Sweetwater, one might say each has its own unique personality.

Well, if you're looking to get a glimpse of the kind of person each coffee shop would be before venturing into uncharted java territory, look no further.

1. Espresso Royale

The hipster kid: they brought their Crosley record player with them to college, takes class notes in a Moleskine journal, probably a SAC or English major.

2. The Roasting Plant

The engineering student: always has a study group, has their sh*t together, will probably be your boss one day.

3. The Lab Cafe

The student from the city: always smells clean, studying abroad in Europe “changed their lives,” very into the monochrome look, plans out their Instagram flow.

4. RoosRoast

Not a theatre student just really appreciates the arts: has probably died their hair either purple or red in the last two months, lives in Kerry Town, Gluten is NOT the enemy.

5. Starbucks

The Poli-Sci major: always has the last word in class discussion, has a Good Vibes sticker on their computer, LOVES Christmas music, uses Snapchat filters unironically.

6. ~Ross~ Starbucks

The student in Greek life: either in Ross or majoring in Communications with a Ross minor, big partier, charges their Juul in class in their laptop USB plug.

7. Comet Coffee

The STAMPS student: sells their needlepoint on Etsy, has kept their pet goldfish alive since September, does a lot of hot yoga, cares about the environment.

8. Bearclaw Coffee Co

The student who’s from Ann Arbor: owns a lot of funny slogan t-shirts, has their car on campus and will definitely drive you to Trader Joe's.

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.
