Dream Chronicles 1: Leonardo DiCaprio in the Hotel Lobby

Screaming for one last hit.

Dream Chronicles 1: Leonardo DiCaprio in the Hotel Lobby

Imagine you’re looking down over the lobby of a 26 or 27-story building from one of the top corners of the room. It’s massively spread out and far too big to be just any building. A pair of revolving doors turn constantly, set just behind a small marble staircase leading to the main floor of the lobby. Void of any and all décor, the lobby is just this flat, cold slab, leading to two elevators on the far right side of the room. The east side of the room, that’s how specific this dream was.

As the revolving doors churn out hoards of nicely dressed commuters and spit them down the steps and across the marble floor, a man flies through the crowd, tearing towards the elevators. Your view focuses in on him now, and you recognize him as young Leonardo DiCaprio with an insanely altered appearance. His head is poorly shaved, he has a half-assed inverted cross scrawled between his eyes, and acupuncture needles covering exactly half of his head. He’s screaming incoherently at first, and calling out in his “Basketball Diaries,” teenage heroine junky voice. Yelling to his friend from the movie, Reggie, for one last hit before he goes clean. He swears to God he’ll go clean after this last hit.

As he nears the elevators, the crowd of people he had cut through with grows increasingly thicker, and people start to grow frustrated with him. A few turn on him, and take him down easily. They tie his hands together as he continues to scream for Reggie.

“No one here knows who that is,” one of his captors says.

“What are these, anyway?” another asks, pointing to the needles in his face.

With DiCaprio pinned down, screaming, and decidedly outnumbered, one by one the people start picking away at the needles. They couldn’t have been any deeper than an eighth of an inch. As each needle is pulled, a comical stream of blood jets out which causes them to laugh. They start at his chin and work their way up, one by one, around his mouth and onto his cheek.

Without warning he goes completely blank. He looks around, and looks up at the men who have him pinned down. Half of the needles in his face are already gone, and he raises his bound hands to his face and brushes the rest out. He brushes off the needles on his head, and on the back of his neck. None of the needles he removes himself bleed or leave any mark showing that they were there. Without a word his captors stand up and continue their trek towards the elevators as if nothing ever happened. Then, slowly, he stands up, looks back at the revolving doors, and continues to the elevators with everyone else.

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.

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.
