Lght sleepers. You either know one, or you are one. And if you are one, you're not alone. You form a community of people who have undoubtedly faced these 21 problems.

1. There's a specific way your pillows have to be for you to sleep well.

2. It's almost impossible to fall asleep with the light on.

3. Even a slight difference in the lighting level you're used to throws you off.

4. You've pretended to still be asleep when your roommate wakes you up.

5. You don't understand how your roommate doesn't wake up while you're getting ready, because you always do.

6. Melatonin is what puts you to sleep from time to time.

7. You've awkwardly asked your neighbor to be quieter so you can sleep.

8. And then you've called the RA on Duty because they didn't get any quieter.

9. White noise is your best friend.

10. Snorers are NOT your friends.

11. Neither are sneezers.

12. Or people with the sniffles.

13. You can never fully fall asleep with music playing.

14. Or with the TV on.

15. You might as well give up all hope of sleeping if people are talking in the room with you.

16. You wake up to the sound of sirens...

17. And drunk frat guys outside your window.

18. And you definitely don't sleep through alarms of any kind.

19. Sometimes even if it's the alarm of the building next to you.

20. You know you'll never get killed in your sleep because you'll wake up as soon as someone turns the doorknob.

21. When the sleeping conditions are right, it is the greatest feeling ever, because boy, do you enjoy your sleep.

So here's to all you light sleepers out there. Remember you're never alone, and sleep is always just a melatonin pill away.

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.

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.
