"The Habitat" Podcast Has Landed
ABC

Another day, another great podcast to listen to. It's been a hot second since I posted anything about the radio channels I've been treating my ears to lately, so here's one of the newest and most captivating podcasts on the waves right now: it's called "The Habitat". This podcast combines the no-nonsense information of journalism with every kid's biggest dream: being an astronaut!

Dropping just this week on Gimlet Media, "The Habitat" is a podcast hosted by Lynn Levy, who tracks one of the most daring science experiments to date--namely, putting a group of scientists in a big bubble in rural Hawaii for an entire year (!) in order to test out how well equipment (and humans) would function during a year-long mission to Mars. The show covers everything from the lead-up to the experiment's beginning to the time spent inside the dome, complete with audio diaries from the "astronauts" as they experience everything within their bubble firsthand.

The show promises to be completely captivating--I mean, who wouldn't want to learn more about life on Mars?!--and it also is sure to show us listeners how the world outside of our world works: Levy explains the realities of life on Mars, which includes poisonous air and super-long flight timing, while also having those involved in the experiment report live and discuss what it's like to live in a bubble where each move and motion is analyzed. Think about living with your roommates for an entire year without a break--then imagine having to report back to NASA with that information! It's truly a wild concept, and I can't wait to give "The Habitat" a listen.

You can listen to "The Habitat" and other Gimlet Media productions on any podcast app!

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.
