11 Benefits Of Wearing A Mask, Besides Saving Lives
Lauren McCally

I get it, quarantine sucks, and you're tired of it. Believe me, we all are. One of the things that have come with this virus is the fact that many public places have required people to start wearing masks to go into places.

Bottom line: Masks are all the rage right now. So, here are 11 benefits that wearing them has, other than saving lives.

1. It covers adult acne

And TBH, that's been kinda nice.

2. You don't have to wear lipstick

Its been kinda nice not to have to put on lipstick to go out places or to do something formal. And as a bonus, you save money on it and other lip products.

3. You can talk to yourself quietly and no one will know.

I mean, I can't be the only one that does this or has done this.

4. Extra sun protection

Although, that might mean theres a weird tan line.

5. You can express your individual personality.

Just like with your clothing styles, a mask is another way to show off what you like.

6. People may be less likely to recognize you.

I mean I know sometimes, I don't really want to talk to people in public, and wearing a mask can cover up a lot of distinctive features a person might have.

7.  They're comfy

TBH, I don't even notice mine after a while anymore, especially while wearing working (or to class) for several hours.

8. You can chew gum (or eat) without anyone knowing

Especially when your more than likely. not supposed to be doing so.

9. You can collect them

TBH, I probably have about 10 and they're all different.

10. They have become something that you always have everywhere.

I mean I have one in my purse, several in my car, and two in my backpack.

11. They are all the rage right now

Yes, I realize most places require people to wear them, but that doesn't make them any less so.

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.
