Is Our Time Really Limited?

I've been going to classes all day and unfortunately it is raining. I don't mind the rain, but I do

mind it when I have to walk across campus and my shoes are completely soaked. Anyways, I'm

not here to rant about school or the rain or even rant in general. I have been thinking a lot

recently, about school and the future. I've also been thinking about this time crunch some

people seem to be on. There is a certain age you're expected to finish school at and even a

certain age to be married, well I mean in brown culture especially. It got me thinking, do we as

people sometimes happen to limit how much time we have to do certain things?

I know life is short and of course our time here on earth is limited because not to be negative or

anything, but it is expected that everyone will die. Whether this be a sudden death driving back

from the movies or a disease like cancer that was dragged out for years and eventually, cancer

won.

We go to school our whole lives, most of us who have the means to go. We surround ourselves

with friends and family, we deal with problematic ass people, we hear about victims of rape

through the news, we even get to witness the era of new idiotic president!

Honestly speaking, life is constantly moving, but are we moving with it or just trying to keep

up as best we can? Do we feel the need to race against life, somehow get ahead and beat it?

Are we as a society ready to accept flaws in life?

See, the funny thing is I always ask these questions, but even I have no clue.

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.
