It's all fun and games unless it goes the wrong way

How to Survive Spring Break

Spring Break is an anticipated week for many college students across the United States. Despite your circumstances, if you go out of town or stay home, there is a pretty high possibility that you'll go out more than usual to enjoy your free time. However, Spring break can be the opposite of fun if you don't take precautions on certain things. Here are some tips I suggest to take during your well-deserved break:


1. Take Naps

This may be the opposite tip suggestion on the term fun. However, taking a nap would help you be energized for night events and you're kind of sleep deprived because of previous late study night sessions. Take the nap, you won't miss much and won't faint of exhaustion.

2. Eat and Hydrate

Yes, feeling your buzz is fun when you're drinking, but always remember to eat and hydrate (H20 or Gatorade) before and after a few drinks. You don't want to be the one that makes various trips to the bathroom and ruin your friends' fun by holding your hair back from the toilet seat.

3. Have a buddy by your side

It is always wise and highly suggested to have a friend by your side when ordering drinks at the bar. Spring break can be fun but easily dangerous. Many people can spill something into your drink without you noticing, and it can lead to a scary situation. Always have your best bud by your side to protect each other from harm.

4.Budget yourself

Sometimes we get carried away with ordering drinks or shopping when we're away on vacation. However, being college students we have to try to budget ourselves no matter what. Try to take out some cash instead of using your plastic card so you won't get carried away on your spending, so you won't regret it later when you come back to reality.

5. Think twice about what you're doing

Make memories that you will remember for the rest of your life. Don't make decisions on something you will regret later. Especially if it gets you to the point that your family will disown 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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
