  • Barbie was "born" the day Mattel president and Barbie inventor Ruth Handler debuted the doll at the American International Toy Fair in New York.
  • Ruth decided to create a three-dimensional doll when she saw her daughter playing with paper dolls, pretending they were students, cheerleaders and career women.
  • Barbie's physical appearance was inspired by Bild Lilli, a German doll created in 1952, which was based on a high-quality call girl named Lilli, featured in the Bild-Zeitung comic strip. It was sold as an adult novelty in bars and tobacconists – definitely not a children's toy. Ruth saw the Bild Lilli doll while on vacation in Europe and brought her home.
  • Barbie is named after Ruth and Elliot Handler's daughter, Barbara. Barbara attended the ceremony for the immortalization of Barbie's hand and footprints in cement on Hollywood Boulevard in 2002.
  • Ken was named after Handler Kenneth's son - meaning that Barbie and Ken, one of the world's most famous fictional couples, were actually inspired by a brother and sister.
  • Barbie and Ken broke ties in 2004, then reunited on Valentine's Day 2011. "Barbie" told her Facebook fans that her "heart only beats for Ken."
  • After her breakup with Ken, Barbie had a new male companion doll named Blaine Gordon.
  • Barbie has seven siblings. Skipper was introduced in 1964. Twins Todd and Tutti were around from 1965 to 1971. Stacie hit shelves in 1990. Kelly was sold from 1994 to 2010. Chelsea was introduced in 2011 as a replacement for Kelly. Barbie's younger sister Krissy was sold as part of a set with Barbie and Ken from 1998 to 2001.

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.
