Little 500 Week As Told By The Office
TVovermind

Indiana University is famous for several things: basketball, Kelley School of Business, and the biggest college week in the nation, Little 500.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with IU's Little 5, it is the biggest collegiate bike race in the country. The race takes place in April and it modeled after the Indy 500. The men's race is 200 laps (50 miles) and the women's race is 100 laps (25 miles), but it is also an excuse for IU students to go on a week long bender and ignore all responsibilities to celebrate in preparation for the race.

The week can be best described by Michael Scott and the rest of The Office cast.

Sunday night, when you know the week of festivities that we have been preparing for all week is finally here.

When your uber is finally here Monday night for the first night out of the week. Everyone is hyped.

Time to get the party started.

When you get home that night and your friends force you to eat Pizza X before bed at 2 a.m...

Trying to remember the night before when you are talking to your friends the next day...

When you are told you actually have to go to class and do work during the day...

When it's only Wednesday and you realize you still have 3 more days to rally...

Going into the weekend, everyone is still going strong and getting excited for race day.

Race day is finally here:

Cheering for your team at the track for 200 laps...

After your team places and it's time to celebrate

When you wake up Sunday morning and are not feeling so hot...

When you are so sick of going out after 6 days straight you don't want to ever again...

When you realize Little 5 is over for a whole year and it's almost time to go home for the summer...

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.
