There's a lot of things you'll miss about Ireland after living abroad for a couple of years — the people, your friends, your family, the sense of humor, the gorgeous views. But something that you never thought you would miss so much, something that you take for granted while living at home, something that might surprise you THE FOOD. American bread, chocolate, gravy, and tea do not have a patch on some of the Irish staples that we all grew up eating. You'll crave it so much that when family and friends come to visit, your mouth will already be watering before the suitcases (full of goodies) are even opened!

So, from my own personal experience, here are some of the Irish foods that you will definitely crave if you're living overseas!

1. Cadbury's chocolate

Can't really beat a classic Dairy Milk.

2. Lucozade

Probably so bad for you but oh so good.

3. Chipper chips

Must be dripping with vinegar to the point where your eyes water as you open the bag.

4. Sausage rolls

A surprising one actually, but who doesn't love a sausage roll with loads of ketchup.

5. Brennan's bread

Batched loaf, please.

6. Real brown bread

The Script even wrote a song with the opening of the music video including the line, "I'm dying for a proper piece of brown bread."

7. Tea

Hot with one sugar and a drop of milk. None of that iced tea nonsense.

8. Smarties (NOT American Smarties)

Will choose over M&Ms any day.

9. Chinese 3-in-1s

Literally the best hangover cure/drunk food/binge eat ever.

10. Bisto

Can you even have a Sunday dinner without it?

11. Tayto crisps

Explains itself really!

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.
