So, do you have a video that you love the audio of but don't want to watch the clip all over again just to listen to it? You're in luck. As you are going to show you one of the many ways of converting a YouTube video to an MP3 which you can then save to your PC or mobile device and listen to offline using a step-by-step guide.

However, if you've forgotten the title of the video, just enter the subject at the top of the page. Several videos will appear, then just look through them and you can usually find it unless it's been deleted.

Now it's time to paste the YouTube video URL you copied in Step 3 above into the MP3 converter you opened.

STEP 6: Select Format

Next, you have to select the format in which you want the video. Supported formats for YouTube downloads are; MP4, WebM, 3GP, Flash FLV formats, and MP3. But you want to convert it to audio so click the MP3 High-Quality button to select quality.

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.

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.
