I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but there have been a ridiculous amount of amazing songs becoming popular lately... like a RIDICULOUS amount. I don't know what happened in the past two years that released the creative juices and made so many people produce these epic songs, but these artists are just killing it guys.

I've particularly noticed a common theme among male vocalists lately that I'm absolutely loving- the art of the ballad and story-telling and deep, soulful music is coming back. Artists are digging deep and pouring out so much emotion and talent into songs that every time I listen to one, I just want to throw my head back and scream "YESSSSSSS"... and let's be honest, sometimes I do.

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.
