Who Will Emerge Out Of The Final Four

It's down to four teams left in what has been a crazy year of college basketball. You have seen the top seeds fall to teams that you might not have even known to have been in Division One. And now it comes down to four teams left fighting for the National Championship in Houston.

The Cinderella of the tournament, who I believe a lot of people want to see at least in the championship, is Loyola- Chicago, who has had a great run but I think that Michigan will be the victor in the first game because of the way that they move the ball. They are a great blend of inside and out, and from what I've seen throughout the tournament this team has increased their defensive premise as well. As an Ohio State fan as well it kills me to say that but with the development over the course of this season alone I feel like they are going to take care of business. Also, Loyola has never played on this big of a stage and the bright lights might get to them early in the game and impact them to a point where they might not be able to make a comeback.

The other Final Four game is Villanova and Kansas, Nova to me is counted out every year because they play in a quote-un-quote "nonpower" conference. Every year though this team shows the haters wrong and is at the end of March Madness most of the time. However this year they haven't been playing great but just have been playing good enough to make it here. Something that you can't do against a Kansas team also looking to make a statement that they can finish what they start. The Jay Hawks haven't been able to make it all the way but to me this year is going to be the year they get a shot at the National Championship because of their bench depth and seniors that have experienced the bright lights and know how to win in crunch time.

So who is my pick to win it all? Kansas or Michigan? It's Kansas, this team has heard so much ofver the past three years. These kids have had shots to get up and leave to go make millions in the NBA but decided to come back to make a statement. Bill Self is one of the best coaches in the NCAA and i think this is the year that they get it done completely.

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.
