I'm going to take you on a tour of the wonderful campus of Mississippi State University through a series of pictures. This tour is not all inclusive. It hits many of the top spots as well as some obscure spots you should still probably know.

First stop,

LEE HALL

Named after the first University president, Confederate General Stephen Lee. This is the crowning jewel on the main part of MSU campus.

Next stop,

THE DRILL FIELD

Opposite Lee Hall is Swalm Hall and in between them is the Drill Field. It is the main academic location on campus with many on the classroom building along its perimeter.

Next stop,

MITCHELL MEMORIAL LIBRARY

This is MSU's library, which is finishing up construction on its new expansion this semester. "Pardon Our Noise"

Next Stop,

COLVARD STUDENT UNION

The Colvard Student Union is one of the busiest locations on campus with a food court, classrooms, meeting rooms, HCDC, Student Affairs, and Greek Life.

Next Stop,

BELL ISLAND

This is the small strip of land between the Union and the Chapel. It houses the retired bell from the Chapel and thus the name.

Next stop,

CHAPEL OF MEMORIES

This is the bell tower and the chapel for the University. All of the brick are from the old dormitory, Old Main, which burned down in the late 40s, early 50s.

Next stop,

ALLEN HALL

This is another academic building that additionally houses the College of Education and the Dean of Student Affairs.

Next stop,

THE JUNCTION & DAVIS WADE STADIUM

This is the main tailgate area for weekend football games. HAIL STATE!

Last stop,

HUMPHREY COLISEUM

This is the home of the basketball teams for both Men's and Women's. It is located on the north side of campus.



Well I hope you have enjoyed your tour! And don't forget to share this for any of your friends that might not know what some of these locations are. Or you can share it so your relatives can see what a beautiful university you have chosen.

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.
