How I Met Your Mother is one of my all-time favorite shows. Barney Stinson is a character that does not seem like a social norm, but if you pay close attention, he does have a more realistic side. Although Barney never actually attended college he is most relatable to college students.


When you have a million things to do and try to hold yourself together.

.

When you have finished an assignment that you poured your soul and a week's worth of your life into and need to know your grade immediately.

When a friend wants you to go out, but instead you decided to go to bed by 9.

When you become friends with a bunch of seniors and they are graduating in a few months.

When professors make you actually read the textbooks.

When you put something on other than sweatpants and a t-shirt for the first time in a week.

When you pull an all-nighter to finish all of your assignments knowing you have a class first thing in the morning.


When you can't remember what your flashcards said, so you make something up in hopes of getting partial points.

When your professors say that the paper/project is not something you can do last minute, so you do every single thing a week before finals.


While we may not all be at the bar every night trying to pick up girls, we can all relate to Barney.

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.
