THIS IS A PSA

I cannot count the number of times that I have opted to hold in my number one due to dreading possible bathroom conditions. I have literally chosen to go through an entire school day without using the bathroom because of what I know will be lurking in there... the stench.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "That's a little insensitive, isn't it?" NO. It isn't. In fact, I believe I am not the only victim of the stench. We have all experienced it, women and men alike, and it doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care what race or ethnicity you are, which is pretty admirable if you compare it to non-gaseous entities(i.e. - human beings). What it does do, however, is destroy everything you've ever loved.

It will sneak its way into the very depths of your nostrils and lodge itself so far up into your nasal cavity that the only plausible option would be to rip your nose off. Although, I'm sure most of us will settle for simple holding his/her breath until you finally open your mouth - yes your mouth because god forbid you inhale through your nose - and suck in that much-needed oxygen. I will tell you from personal experience that I have held my breath until my eyes watered to avoid inhaling. It is not pretty, people.

I know the first thing to combat this, the most logical thing, would be to casually spray some sort of delicious smelling perfume or body spray into the air - DO NOT DO THIS. This will not solve the problem, it will only make it worse. Why, you ask? Well, say I sprayed something beautiful and floral into the air - the stench would then smell more like flowers with a hint of stale salami and a fragrant musk of... tuna fish. Mmm, right? No. Wrong.

Please, people, just get in and get out. Don't stop to smell the hypothetical roses because there are none. Just toilets.

*This was not meant to offend - just to entertain... I'm sure we've all been there*

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.

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.
