Finding inspiration in other people is essential to grow and learn. I am blessed to have many wonderful friends in my life, none more special than my fellow Denisonian and female rugby player, Yana Holden. Yana is a badass. She has broken her nose, gotten second degree burns, and still manages to sashay her way to the bar hand in hand with her unicorn stuffed animal. Yana, this one's for you. Thanks for always inspiring me and making me Macaroni.

1. Don't tell me what to do.

To be as badass as Yana, do not ever let anyone tell you what to do.

2. I can do anything I want.

And you must realize that no one is stopping you from doing what you want but yourself.

3. Always be a unicorn.

Be as strong and majestic as the great unicorn.

4. I am an effing barber.

She cuts hair and she doesn't care. She puts her mark on the work and gets paid for it.

5. I am Yana; and I do not care what you think.

Everyone else is a peasant.

6. My parents are Yanparents, my grandpa is Yanpa, my grandma is Yanma, my friends are Yanfriends and I am the Yannis.

You know you've made it when everyone is identified by their relation to you.

7. Rookie challenge, pick me up from Taco Dans.

Assert yourself and your power over others. Command their service.

8. Person: Where are you? Yana: In my bed

You come to me. I do not come to you.

9. Shut up this is about me.

*Flawless in all circumstances*

10. How many boxes of mac 'n cheese should I make?

Yana knows how to provide for her friends after a night out. Ask her nicely and she will give you the moon.

11. My face hurts.

Only badasses can rock a broken nose.

12. Stop. I don't like that.

Learn the rules of Yana and you will be better for it.

13. Own it.

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.
