What To Remember If You Plan To Party In College
Maggie Kohlrus

You're approaching your freshman year. All you can think about is the new friends you'll make, the parties you'll go to, and the cute guys you'll come across. When having fun and making memories, don't forget a few small things to make sure you don't lose your girlfriends and/or you don't wake up the next morning with (too many) regrets.

For starters, never leave a man behind. Man being the group you head out with. If it's just you and your best friend, don't leave her at a bar or party alone unless you know she's safe. Same goes for guys, no one wants to be left alone if they can't even hold themselves up.

Next tip, be mindful of your outfit. Trust me, I know it's fun to be "glammed" out and turn heads when you walk into a room, just make sure you aren't turning them for the wrong reason. Not everyone needs to see where the sun don't shine. Also, if there is a jersey themed party it's OK to wear a big jersey and athletic shorts. I promise you'll have much more fun plus you can just be "one of the guys" for a night.

Tip number three: Check the license plate of the uber car. I can't stress enough how important this is. Even if it's a safe, small, college friendly town, it is still important to make sure you are getting in the right car.

Don't do something against your morals just to impress a group of girls or guys. If they don't respect your choices or feelings, then maybe they aren't the right group to hang around. College is fun and a great time to try new things, as long as they don't put you in harm's way or with a large amount of regret.

My first two years of college hold some of my favorite memories. Mistakes and regrets are bound to happen, what's important is not letting the same one happen twice. Keep watch of your girlfriends or guy friends and never stop smiling.

Get ready for the best years of your life!

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.

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.
