How to Live in a World Where Zayn Malik is Not a Member Of One Direction

By now most people have heard the devastating news: Zayn Malik is no longer a member of One Direction. Yes, that's right. The boy band so many of us have grown to know and love is now only a four-piece. Of course, there are much more important issues in the world, but if you are anything like me, then this news has probably taken a toll on you. In these past few days, however, I have learned that the world keeps turning and life AZ (After Zayn) does exist. So, if you feel like being a little dramatic this week, here are a few ways you can cope with this latest tragedy:

  1. Listen to every One Direction song ever.
  2. Watch every One Direction interview ever.
  3. Watch One Direction concert videos.
  4. Watch NBC's One Direction TV special.
  5. Watch Zayn's audition video.
  6. Watch all videos from One Direction's days on XFactor.
  7. See how many times you can watch This Is Us in a day.
  8. Watch a compilation video of Zayn's high notes. This can make things worse rather than better. but it is necessary.
  9. Take a moment to appreciate the many hairstyles of Zayn.
  10. Read "Dare to Dream" by One Direction.
  11. Read "Where We Are" by One Direction.
  12. Eat lots of ice cream.
  13. Eat lots of cookies.
  14. Eat lots of cake.
  15. Cry.
  16. Yell.
  17. Spend a day in denial, pretending like Zayn never left.
  18. Think of the amazing solo album Zayn is going to put out.
  19. Remember that Zayn's decision was for the best of his personal and mental health.
  20. Be happy knowing that this is not the end of One Direction and that, in the words of Zayn himself, "they will continue to be the best band in the world."

We will miss you, Zayn. We love you.

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.

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.
