Stop Killing The Environment With Plastic Water Bottles And Invest In Brita Filters

Water is essential to life, we all have to drink it and we should drink a lot of it. Water is necessary for each person's survival but guess what... so is the environment that we all live in. If you don't know this by now then shame on you, but plastic is incredibly detrimental to our environment. The majority of plastic products are not recyclable and even then, the ones that are often don't end up being recycled. Not to mention, plastic (water bottles and all other plastic items) often end up carelessly thrown away, either tossed onto the ground or somehow ending up into the ocean. If you don't care about the planet, at least care about the plethora of animals you could be killing.

Now is the time to stop continuously spending on packs of plastic water bottles and do yourself, as well as the environment, a huge favor by switching to Brita Filters and reusable water bottles. They may seem to be an expensive purchase but trust me, it is cheaper in the long run than continuously having to purchase pack after pack of plastic water bottles. If you're someone who drinks a lot of water every day, you probably chug through bottles. Not to mention, if you're sharing a pack of water, I'm sure the bottles will disappear sooner than you think.

Moreover, by switching to reusable water bottles and utilizing a Brita Filter, you no longer have to clean up the empty bottles strewn around your room and throughout your car. If you're lazy (like I am), this will be a huge time saver. Not to mention, there are many different types of Brita Filters. They have pitcher style ones that you can fill up and then place into your fridge to keep cold. They have ones that attach to your sink so that you can save fridge space and just fill up directly from the sink.

I personally use the one that attaches to my sink but since I prefer having cold water, I just fill up my own pitcher and leave it in the fridge. I find this more versatile but honestly, both options are very easy to use!

The one con of Brita Filters is having to replace the filter every three months but in my opinion, that is still a cheaper alternative than having to buy multiple packs of water and having that cost add up over time. Don't let the lower price of a pack of water bottle trick you. A Brita Filter may be expensive when first purchasing but it's about spending more at one time to save more over time!

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.
