Reading has got to be the most underrated past time of all time. You get to transport yourself to any time and place of your choice. It's like a dream that you choose. The millions and millions of universes you get to experience is the most magical thing in the entire universe.

For the longest time, I've been in a reading slump for more than one reason, and I lost the spark of reading. I always thought about it, but never got the chance to visit the local bookstore to sit down and read with a warm cup of chai tea. My summer internship also didn't give me the chance to just relax. However, with my mentor's two week vacation, I had a little bit of time to read. In that time, I finished the first book of the Outlander series, and I started the next book. Unfortunately, the second week was taken up with babysitting, and my hours kicked in so I wasn't able to pick up a book in the longest time.

In that week, I was transported back to the 18th century with a handsome and charismatic male lead, and I couldn't get enough of it. I wanted more and more, I spent nights losing sleep just to keep turning the page. I was absolutely elated to divulge into my love of reading all over again. I can already feel the stack of books I'll have in my arms the next time I'm at Barnes and Noble. And the other stack in my boyfriend's arms.

For people that have never considered reading as a past time, pick up a really easy read from your school library, and challenge yourself to read at least three chapters in, or for at least an hour. For those of you that like music, have music playing in the background for double the fun. I like to have my own reading station along with some snacks and drinks to keep myself hydrated and stuffed. It'll be either one of the best times, or you spent an hour giving the book a chance.

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.
