"If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die." Mik Everett

Writing has always been a passion of mine, and now it's what I'm going to school for. I won't go on and on about how important the arts are (even though they are VERY IMPORTANT), however I will go on and on about why writers need the credit they deserve. And, yes, literature is an art.

If you've ever had to write a story, an essay, a huge paper, then you know what I'm saying. Sometimes it comes naturally but to others it's a long, long process. There's developing characters, an interesting plot/conflict, a satisfying ending, etc etc. I never really understood the process of writing a decent story until I took a workshop class and had to get through the basics for anyone to even kind of appreciate the work put into it. It's hard.

Usually when you think of a writer, you think of the guy with the man bun and huge glasses sitting with a laptop at Starbucks, which usually isn't the case. It's the funny girl who barely picked up a book in high school. It's guy that sat alone at lunch doodling and scribbling in a notebook or two. It's the older woman who just lost her husband and has nowhere else to turn to. It's anyone.

Writers are imaginative. They're angry. They're funny. They're everything and more all at one time. It can be next to impossible to get your thoughts out onto paper while they're flying through your head at 80 miles an hour. Everything about them is interesting, even on the "boring" days. Writers are never bored.They're constantly moving and thinking and trying to see what comes next.

Most writers know what it's like to hurt. They know what it's like to struggle, whether it be mentally or physically. To incorporate pain into art is beautiful in the way that someone can work through they're problems and express themselves through characters, and in this way they can help someone else going through the same thing.

The way writers can recreate people in their lives as characters is amazing. The way they can portray a person's story into their own is insane. It's true that no matter who you are, friend, family, significant other, etc, if a writer falls in love with you, you can never die. You're immortalized into someone in a book, story, poem, anything else that will be persevered forever. I don't know what's better than that.

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.
