From Someone Who Doesn't Watch Basketball, These Teams Will Make It To The Final Four

Because my opinion matters too.

I heard from a friend who heard from a friend that there's a lot of basketball talk this time of year. Now, I don't really follow men's basketball or March Madness, but everyone else is posting brackets and making guesses about who will win what, so I figured I could jump in on the action. Here are my 100% accurate picks for the Final Four, based entirely on the power of the teams' respective mascots.

1. Virginia Commonwealth University, Rodney the Ram

This mascot is absolutely terrifying. A mere ram would strike fear into the heart of any God-fearing basketball man, but this one? He is a devil, a wretched creature unworthy of being seen. Just based off appearances, he will win lots of fights--what Buckeye, Orange, or Duck could stand up to the fearsome power of Rodney? However, he is too reckless, which will undoubtedly be his downfall.

2. Louisiana State University, Mike the Tiger

Mike the Tiger is one of the mascots represented by a real animal. In this case, it may make him less cartoonishly terrifying, but Mike, like all tigers, is powerful indeed. Tigers have just about every natural advantage out there--you don't want Mike on your bad side.

3. Arizona State University, Sparky the Sun Devil

Evil, pure and unrestrained, is Sparky the Sun Devil. He's got those eyebrows, those horns, those blazing, blazing eyes--he is a living sin. But devils can only last so long until they are smitten, either by God or a bucket of water.

4. University of Florida, Albert and Alberta Gator

Albert and Alberta are gators, sure, but that's not the most powerful thing about them. They don't need the speed, stealth, or raw strength. What really makes them a force is the love they have for each other. Love makes Albert and Alberta unbreakable, which is why the University of Florida has a 100% chance of winning March Madness.

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!

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.
