5 Things Homecoming Week Has Taught Me
Hailey Bianco

1.) Sometimes it’s okay to take a breathe and have some fun

It’s easy for us to get caught up in school, sports, extra curriculars, and everything else but sometimes we just have to put it all to the side and remember that we’re still just teenagers.

2.) It’s not lame to have school spirit but the craziness is actually encouraged

I’ll never be ashamed of where I come from and I will always be a very spirited person. Every smile I get out of my crazy cosumes literally make my day.

3.) You can’t please everyone

As a kid who is very involved, I’ve witnessed first hand what it takes to put everything together. From coming up with spirit day themes, making hallway decorations, picking out tiaras and everything else, I’ve a hand in just about everything. No matter how hard we work someone always has a complaint but we never let it get to us.

4.) The moments are totally worth all the stress the week brings

The greatest feeling is when you get to see everything come together and seeing so many of your classmates just simply having fun.

5.) Most importantly, For a moment nothing else matters besides for the ones you’ve grown so close to

Although I hate when the week comes to an end, seeing someone you love win spirit queen, being in the middle of the battle cry, winning the class dodgeball tournament, and spending every moment with your best friends will always bring a smile to your face. For a moment all our worries fade away and we are just enjoying the moment.

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.

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.
