5 Reasons The Wine Education Class Is The Best Class Offered At FSU

When I started researching classes for my degree in International Affairs, HFT4866 was on the top of my list. A class dedicated to wine, who wouldn't want to be in that? Of course, I had to wait until I turned 21 but rather surprisingly, I was able to register for the class immediately this semester. Since it is mainly for Hospitality majors, I thought I would have to wait until drop/add to try to secure it. After attending classes for the last month, I thoroughly enjoy it so far and we haven't even gotten to the tastings!

Homework = wine tastings.

While taking this class, you can actually say that you are completing wine tastings for homework. You have to complete at least ten before the end of the semester. These can be done anywhere with wine, as long as there are different varieties. So far, I have completed four tastings and I already see the difference in my knowledge from the first to the most recent one.

You increase your wine knowledge. 

Even though I am not a hospitality major, I find wine quite interesting and having the ability to learn about it is a wonderful opportunity. Before this class, I rarely drank wine and if I did, it was cheap $10 bottles. Even though cheap wine can be good, it doesn't compare to some of the more expensive wines I have had the privilege of tasting. I have learned a lot in the last month and I can't wait to learn more.

Drinking in class. 

Although the class is not dedicated to drinking, once wine tastings start, it's all about trying the wines. Each class period will involve the tasting of five different wines and any alcohol that is free is good alcohol. All in all, I'm excited to learn about and try a variety of wines.

Dr. Bonn knows what he's talking about. 

One of the worst parts of taking a class is having a terrible professor. Dr. Bonn is an amazing professor who goes in-depth with every lecture. Even though he can be somewhat strict, he does it for a reason. Missing a class means missing a lot of valuable information and why would you want to miss a class where you drink wine?

Hello, wine!

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.
