Taylor Swift Is Right, It's Nice To Always Have A Friend

Shout out to this rare {guy} friend I sometimes eye roll at...

Taylor Swift Is Right, It's Nice To Always Have A Friend
Maggie Kooi Facebook

I entered college thinking I would only have girlfriends to make memories with, which I'm super thankful that I have met many gal pals while here (y' all know who you are). But I had no idea that I would meet such a unique friend while here that was a dude. I bet you are probably thinking by now, does this guy exist my life since he is so rare? Yes, he certainly does!

I was thinking about how to do this article and how I should name this friend of mine for the purpose of the article. But if we are being honest, I like to keep it real so we are going with his actual name, this isn't seventeen magazines where there will be asterisks at the bottom. That stuff is too confusing anyway!

Without a doubt though, this friend of mine named Freddy is very unique, just ask my roommate. I didn't officially get to know him until we met after many masses, I think this math is correct so let's just say that. I didn't really think much of him as a friend (yes friend... I will have nosy family reading this) until we had a class together. You truly get to know more about a person when you are in a group project with them. What I learned about Freddy through this project though is that he is cool with everyone's thoughts even if they are crazy ones. I tend to not have a filter even during group projects (oops), so it was quite refreshing for someone like him to actually have one. He also is very driven and has positive thoughts for the most part, which is something I admire in a friend because project stuff can get tricky with those who are lazy/negative.

If you are lucky to meet someone like Freddy, make sure you spend time getting to know them as a person. I am still friends with Freddy even after working on the project and we have gotten to know each other better. I guess this is the part where I say Fly Eagles Fly? We both know that I'm not the best at remembering all the team's phrases!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
