Oldies And Classic Rock To Save Your Soul

Is it just me or are there times when it really seems like our generations is missing something? In past generations, science experienced the likes of Einstein and Edison, in Hollywood James Dean and Marlon Brando, and in sports Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson. Sometimes it seems like that would have been a heck of a time to be alive. Time travel hasn't been figured out yet, so there's no shot we will get to experience past generations the way our parents and grandparents did, but there is a way to get a taste. Music.

You can pretty much take music with you anywhere these days and why not take some history with you through the good music of past years? Sure, we have tons of great music coming out almost everyday, but there is endless amounts of music that came out a long time ago that we would really be missing out on if we didn't give it a listen.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

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.
