The dark decrepit house stood ominously against the clouded sky. The dark storm clouds rumbled ominously in the background, adding the sense of foreboding that they felt. Glancing about, they could see that almost all of the windows in the two story house was broken, shattered from the outside if they would have to wager a guess. That would make sense, after all, the home was the location of one of the most horrifying events in the past decade. Regardless, they had a job to do.

They stepped up the small steps that lead to the front porch. They reached for the door handle, but paused as a sudden chilling wind blew past them. Shivering slightly, they steeled their nerves and wrenched open the door.

With an ominous creak, the door swung open, revealing the dirty and worn foyer. A rug, too stained for them to tell the color, led from the door to the adjoining hallway, ending at another door at the end. To their right was a grand set of staircase leading to the second floor. All along the hallway were various portraits, many of which were torn or fallen. They did note that there was a single door just adjacent to the one at the end of the hall.

They cautiously stepped into the foyer, glancing about as if expecting someone to jump out. When no one did, they stepped fully into the house. Just as they began to give the room a more careful look, the door slammed with some unseen force. Jumping, they spun around, expecting to see someone standing their, but there was none. They stood there, staring at the door for several more seconds before shaking their head and turning back to the room.

There was a worn out dresser off to the side, on its side, with various shards of what they assumed to be a mirror scattered around it. They were about to simply look over the destroyed furniture when a something caught their eye. It was a small cracked picture frame, partially hidden beneath multiple mirror pieces and splinters.

Crouching down, they carefully shifted the debris and lifted the frame. There was a picture in it, but they could hardly see it beneath the cracked glass. They flipped the frame over and removed the picture from its confines. It was a picture of a family of four, a mother, father, and two kids; a boy and a younger girl. Strangely, none of them were smiling. In fact, if they looked carefully, they looked as if they were edging away from the father, not that they were surprised by this. Not after what the father did.

The sound of floorboards creaking from above pulled them out of their thoughts. It appeared that the house was not as abandoned as they first thought.

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.
