30 Icebreakers That Will Definitely Start A Conversation

I've been on so many bad dates at this point and have had so many awkward interactions with people that I've become a pro at breaking awkward silences. A great way to do that, while also getting to know the person is icebreakers. I am someone who sort of loves icebreakers, and fun ones too, not the typical "what's your major?" Those are kind of repetitive and not fun.

1. If you could live anywhere in the world outside of the United States, where would you live and why?

2. Would you rather only eat your favorite meal for the rest of your life or never be able to eat your favorite meal again? What's your favorite meal?

3. If you could eat dinner with anyone dead or alive, who would it be?

4. If you could go on any reality tv show, which one would it be?

5. If you could be any animal what would it be?

6. What is one skill that you wish you had?

7. Describe your dream date in 3 words/ 

8. What is your favorite part about the summer?

10. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

12. What is something that you've never done, but have always wanted to do? 

13. What classic TV sitcom (Friends, HIMYM, Parks and Rec, The Office) would you want to be apart of? 

14. Describe your ideal vacation in 3 words

15. What is something that you think you're good at?

16. Where is your favorite spot to go to in the entire world? 

17. What is your guilty pleasure?

18. If you were stuck alone on a deserted island for the rest of your life with all of your needs filled (like food, water, coffee, and shelter,) but you could only bring two items what would they be? Why?

19. Aliens have attacked the earth! You could only save one more person other than your parents and siblings, who would you save?

20. What is something you wish you could eliminate forever?

21. What is your favorite video game?

22. If you could trade lives with anyone dead or alive for a day, who would it be?

23. You have the ability to solve on world problem entirely right now, what would it be?

24. If you had a million dollars what would you do with it? Would you spend it, save it, donate it?

25. Who is your favorite artist right now?

26. Who is your favorite couple to ship right now, fictional or non-fictional?

27. What was your favorite class in high school?

28. Who is your celebrity crush?

29. If you could be any TV character who would you be? Why?

30. What is something that you like to do in your free time?

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.
