The Chronicles of A Night Owl

If you stay up late at night, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Since moving to school and becoming a "full-fledged adult"; I have been given the opportunity to make my own decisions and manage my own time. Let's just say I'm still getting the hang of it. Anyone who knows me can tell you I am not a morning person so here is the struggle of night owls in college.

You stay up as late as your body will let you.

Before you know it you have spent hours on your phone, watching TV or even finishing up homework/studying.

You set your MULTIPLE alarms knowing tomorrow morning will be the death of you.


When you have an 8 am you calculate how long you could sleep before knowing you're going to bed late. Then you proceed to set several alarms knowing the first won't do the trick.

Then you FINALLY sleep.

The best feeling in the world. Period.

The dreaded first alarm goes off.

At this point you hear a faint noise in the background, but you're in denial so you just try to ignore the satanic noise.

Warning: The Anger Begins

The denial is over and the rage begins. You literally just closed your eyes and now you have to get up.

Nope, not yet..

You can't you just can't it can't be true. It is still WAY to early.

Oh Shoot!!!

And now it's too late.... You have 20 minutes until your class starts. Good Luck! You're going to need it.

Run Forrest Run!

Honestly if you make it to class man oh man kudos to you.

In the nick of time..

You won today (barely).... so until next time try to stay awake!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
