This hack is ingenious, especially if you have a lot of stuff because that way you can always know what is in each of the boxes.

3. Defrosting your fridge

I don't know about you guys but almost every college student including me has a mini fridge. Defrosting your fridge a couple days early will keep it from leaking while you transport it to wherever you are going.

4. Family & Friends

This hack is probably one of the most important. Moving is definitely something that would suck to do by yourself so make sure you can find some friends and family to help you move. Maybe you can repay them with a pizza too.

5. Hand trucks

These are one of the most useful things that can really make or break the whole ease of moving.

Hopefully these hacks will make moving a lot less stressful, I know that they will and are making my life a lot less stressful.

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.
