Dakimakura, What Fabric Is Best?
aliexpress.com

Japanese dakimakura (better known as body pillows), are the staple in every otaku's life. Without one, it can be rightfully assumed that this person has not yet found their waifu/husbando soulmate, or they are too daunted by the idea of failure in picking out the perfect fabric. Now, while this guide will not help you in finding your one true love (or many, whatever you're into), it will help you in identifying the best fabric fit for your body and budget! 《《o(≧◇≦)o》

Peach Skin

This fabric will be adored by your wallet! It's the cheapest and most basic out of all four. To put in simpler terms, it's polyester. However, even though it may not be the softest cloud on the market, it is one of the more durable options. It doesn't rip or fade and has great picture quality! The reason for this is the smooth nature of the fabric.

Japanese Textile

This guy is a step up from peach skin but still the average Joe of the group. While it doesn't excel in any particular area, it doesn't disappoint either. Picture quality is quite good and when referring to softness, it has peach skin beat.

Natural Velvet

This fabric has long been associated with royalty. In other words, it's for those who have the time and patience to take care of this bi-polar thread. It will not serve you long in terms of durability. Another downside is the picture quality which isn't as defined as other fabrics due to the nature of velvet. A piece like this is really for those who will love it for it's pampering feel.

Two-Way Tricot (2way tricot)

This is the God among Gods! It has the best picture quality! It's softness-o-meter is off the charts! Best of all, it will last FOREVER!! This tends to be the most expensive fabric as well, but who has ever heard of a cheap god? Exactly, no one. So if you have money to spare then this really should be your number one choice when deciding to buy your dakimakura. o(*>ω<*)o

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.
