As my freshman year at the University of Kentucky comes to a close, I have been reflecting on all the things I have done and, more particularly, all the fun events I’ve attended.

From sports games to movie nights, it seems like there is an event going on every day. Even if I didn’t really know what they were, I tried to attend as many events as I could.

As a result, I have had a great freshman year and created some awesome memories, especially at these ten events.

1. Basketball games


When people think of UK, they think of basketball. Going to at least one of these games is a must.

2. Football games


What is UK without Caturdays? Tailgate and watch football with some friends.

3. Crunch brunch


Right before finals in December, Student Activities Board gives you free breakfast, t-shirts, games, and massages. Take a study break and have some fun.


4. Carnival


Right before finals in April, Student Activities Board provides a carnival with free rides, carnival food, games, t-shirts, and more. It reminded me of going to the fair at home, but without spending money.


5. Goat yoga


What is more relaxing than doing yoga while adorable goats climb on you? Trick question, nothing.

6. DanceBlue


Dance For The Kids! It’s hands-down the best 24 hours of the year.

7. Greek Sing


Frats and srats spend weeks (and in some cases months) preparing dances for this. Even if you’re not Greek, you can go and watch some amazing, and some hilarious, dancing.

8. Holi


Student Activities Board and Indian Student Association partnered to put on Holi, an Indian Festival of Colors. It was a great event filled with free t-shirts, Indian food, henna tattoos, and a color war.

9. K Week


So many events happen during this week from LexMart to Big Blue U to We Are UK. How much free food, trinkets, and t-shirts can you collect?

10. Events around Lexington


If there’s not something happening on-campus that interests you, look off-campus. From concerts to professional bull riding, there will be something for you.

There’s always something to do at the University of Kentucky. You just have to go to it — get out of your comfort zone and go to something new with your friends. You’ll create great memories that will last a lifetime, and get sooo much free stuff.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
