Check out these titles to transport yourself somewhere else during social distancing!

Book one: Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

Book one of a trilogy, Inkheart is a great read. If you are a fan of books being made into a movie, then this one is for you! Brandon Frazier even plays the lead role. The storyline is absolutely captivating: a man afraid of his gift while having the very same power to bring his family back together, with some interesting characters that jump right out of fairytales along the way. Combined with the power of storytelling and magic, this novel is bound to capture and keep your attention.

Book two: Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan

A tale of sacrifice due to unfortunate events. Esperanza learns about hard work and faces the harsh reality of her people as they do what they can in a foreign country. Missing her grandma who is on the other side of the border, Esperanza eventually overcomes her biases and appreciates what she's had all along as she works to provide for the ones she loves. A good choice for those who love historical fiction, as the history of farmworker strikes and the Mexican Repatriation initiative is tied into the plot.

Book three: The Wizenard Series: Training Camp by Kobe Bryant and Wesley King

If you're a fan of basketball and magic, this is the series for you. This book covers 5 boys on a basketball team as they strive for greatness and a ticket to a better life. Told from 5 different perspectives, this fiction novel covers a new mysterious coach and his magical abilities to improve the team while addressing each character and their internal struggles. The Wizenard Series shows that personal growth and transformation is possible with the right people and the right attitude.

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.

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.
