11 Distractions of the Classroom As Told By Memes
Harlem Shake (Original College Classroom)

As I was sitting in class one day I noticed how distracted I was due to the among of sniffles and random sneezes that kept happening by the students around me. I functioned like a robot and immediate turned to tell my friend Jameson, "God, bless you" the moment I heard him sneeze behind me. The teacher stopped the class and gave me a look that was very confusing to figure out what exactly he was trying to tell me with his eyes. When my confusion registered to him he walked closer to me and asked if I would avoid the pleasantries just because someone sneezed. Being the spitfire that I am, I shot a question right back at him, "Everyone else said bless you when he sneezed, what did I say that made it wrong ? Sir." (I added the sir so my mother wouldn't kill me when she read this.) He paused and then told me that by saying, "God bless you," I made the sneeze dramatic and distracting. I didn't understand but for the sake of everyone who was now distracted by my attitude and his commentary I left it alone. As soon as class ended I went back to him and he told me that bringing religion into my response could have made other students uncomfortable. Now, although I understood what he meant I was frustrated as I left the class because how could me saying that God would bless him be more of an issue than the kids who said a simple "bless you" ?

This made me think of all the other things that I may do on a daily basis that might be a distraction to someone that barely knew me but had to participate in the same class as me. Now, although this introduction may seem a little crazy and extreme, it was a very specific moment in time where I felt like my voice was asked to be silence for the sake of others. But since this is a great platform for me to release my thoughts,I plan to yell, SCREAM and let my frustrations OUT.

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.
