A Sincere Thank You To J.K. Rowling
bing

It’s crazy to think that a woman you have never met can have such an impact on your life. The author of the Harry Potter series has made such a large impact on so many lives of people all around the world.

There is something very special about the entering another world full of fantasy and adventure. The feeling Harry Potter fans receive when entering the wizarding world of Hogwarts through the flip of a page is indescribable. The books give readers the ability to escape from reality. It allows you to make connections with characters who you will sadly never get the chance to meet, but will always have by your side whenever you’re down. Harry, Ron, and Hermione will become your best friends and their enemies will become your own. You’ll believe the wizarding world is where you belong, and sometimes you might even convince yourself that it is your reality. All of these feelings would not be possible without JK Rolling, so on behalf of all HP fans, I would like to thank her.

Thank you for letting me choose my own house and position on the quidditch team.

Thank you for teaching me that love is magic.

Thank you for reassuring me that Hogwarts will always be my second home.

Thank you for the memories I made reading the books with my father when I was young.

Thank you for teaching me spells that would help me in Latin class.

Thank you for Dumbledore’s quotes that will forever inspire me to be a better person.

Thank you for expanding my imagination.

Thank you for the bragging rights every time I win a game of Harry Potter trivia.

Thank you for teaching me to be courageous.

Thank you for creating a place to escape during rough times.

And most importantly, thank you for my childhood.

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.
