19 College Library Experiences as Told by BBC's Sherlock
Mike Wilson

All college students go to the library at some point during their school career. If you go as often as I do, you have surely had numerous strange experiences between the shelves (get your mind out of the gutter!). But, the library is the perfect place for awkward moments to happen. Its silent (supposedly). Everyone is in the work zone (supposedly). And when we are there for long enough, our true selves show in full view of every other student.

As I was thinking about the right way to express these experiences, I remembered that I recently finished season four of BBC's "Sherlock." I thought to myself, "Shouldn't the most clever and intelligent person in the world talk about the place where a seemingly near-infinite amount of information is held? Yes. Yes he should."

So here it is! Take it away Benedict Cumberbatch and friends!

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.
