Saying Farewell To My Favorite Piece Of Clothing

Have you ever had a special pair of jeans that you wore every time it came out fresh from the wash? It fits just right, it's just how you like it, and you love it. In an odd way, you form a bond to that inanimate object. But someday, your favorite pair of jeans rip or are worn out beyond repair and it is time to say goodbye. This happens to me too, I understand your pain.

Why do we create these bonds with inanimate objects, such as a pair of jeans, or an awesome decal shirt? Well, usually this piece of clothing makes me feel good when I wear it. I feel trendy, comfortable, and the clothing's just comforting because of familiarity.

Currently, I have a blouse that I have worn for a long time, typically for business casual purposes. It is the first shirt I think of when I need to dress up. I've lost count of how many years I have relied on this shirt to dress me up and be comfortable at the same time. This shirt has been to two high school music department trips to Chicago and Virginia. My favorite shirt has "had my back" for me during my different internships, interviews, and many other business casual needs. My favorite shirt even went with me to my New York City trips.

But the end is looming near for my good-luck charm. The colors are not as crisp, the collar is not as taut, and it doesn't seem to have the same "bounce". I do however hope to take this shirt on its last big trip... to Ireland in May. After my trip to Ireland, I think it will be time to retire ol' faithful.

So here's to you, my favorite blouse!

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.
