If you're reading this, you probably get car sick easily and all your friends and family know this. I've always gotten motion sickness pretty easily and as I'm getting older, it just seems too slowly get worse. Here are 5 things that are true for all of you nausea prone folks:

1. You dread every road trip

You hate long car rides. You're the nuisance in the car, complaining the whole time and being that one who always asks to stop for bathroom breaks because you need fresh air.

2. You always have plastic bags handy

You never know when it's going to hit, so you have to come prepared

3. You can't read a sentence without your head spinning

You look around and everyone else is watching a movie, on their phone or worse: reading. You can barely handle keeping your eyes open let alone read. You always think you out grow this so you try again often thinking you feel fine...and then you ruin it for yourself.

4. You own a pair of Sea bands.

You recognize these little gadgets and if you don't they're amazing. They're basically sweat bands that you put around each of your wrists in a certain spot with a ball on the inside that puts pressure on your wrist and prevents nausea.

5. Ginger ale is your friend

You come prepared with all the nausea recovery snacks: ritz crackers, white bread and ginger ale. Stock up and bring a whole case.

You'll never grow out of your car/motion sickness. This applies to airplanes and theme park rides too, so consider yourself lucky if you only get sick during car rides. You'll never grow out of it. Every time you think you feel fine and can handle reading...just don't do it. Don't kid yourself. Just embrace it.

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.

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.
