How To Celebrate Labor Day The Right Way

"There are no days off"

-Confucius, probably

Do you think that Labor Day is just a nice title for a one-day holiday, an excuse to lay in bed watching Netflix and eating soup all day? Well, think again, buster, because my mama always told me that Labor Day is a very special day, and so, in her honor, I would like to share the true meaning of Labor Day with you all, and give you tips on how to spend yours the right way.

OKAY!

Labor Day first became an American federal holiday in 1894; this marked the first day in history that anyone had ever worked. Indeed, on the first Monday of September, 1894, God began molding the universe and all of life. To recognize and honor the first true day of work ever, Labor Day was created. This means that every year, people are given the day off from all work, school, and responsibilities. This usually leads to people staying inside lazing about all day, mothers and fathers ditching their children by dropping them off on the side of the road (please tell me this happened to you, too) for 24 hours straight, and all morals being thrown out the window for an entire day. Yes, we all know Labor Day to be a time of mayhem and sodomy, but this can change!

You see, the best way to spend your Labor Day, the RIGHT way to spend it, is at work. Shock your bosses, surprise your teachers, take care of your babies. Because you know what? As Confucius once said, "There are no days off! #JustDoIt #BallIsLife #Blessed;" I think we can all agree with and relate to that poignant message.

There are truly no days off.

Thanksgiving: In the office. Your family will understand.

Christmas: In the office. Jesus will forgive you.

Your Birthday: In the office. What better gift is there than the joy of hard, painstaking, work?

Labor Day is no different. It ain't called "Rest Day" for a reason, people. So today, if you're reading this in your PJs and you're all snug in your bed, stop being such a lazy lump and get to work ASAP! You'll thank me later.

Happy Labor Day, everyone!!!

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.
