Always expect the unexpected at these events

Mixers And Paint Wars And Rednecks, Oh My!
Madysen Alyese Luzzo

To continue the process of picking a social club that fits towards you, here comes the MIXERS! Now to explain what a mixer is in my own words: A mixer is a party where you go and dress accordingly to the theme (because it's way more fun that way) and you partake in the activities and awesomeness of the club and meet new people and then decide if you would like to join that club or not. Now in reality, some people just come to get free food or a free t-shirt, but that's when we call those people "lame". Actually participating in the activities and meeting new people are what is awesome about these mixers.

The club mixers I went to were: Kappa & Phi Lambda and Epsilon & Delta's and both of them were so great! To start off with the first night of Kappa & Phi Lambda was the theme of "Redneck Olympics". To running in a sack race with garbage bags, to seeing how far you can spit a sunflower seed, the whole night was truly a Redneck's Paradise. We all dressed up in our trashiest Redneck attire and then danced the night away to "The Wobble & Cubic Shuffle". The summary of the night is that I now understand why Kappa's slogan is the "Kappa Krazies".

Night two was Epsilon & Delta's night theme of: Mardis Gras Paint Party. They had it on Big Grass and had tents lit up with green and purple Christmas lights. The event was a paint party, so it was a very colorful paint party with an addition of water balloons. I can say that everyone there that night had an exceptional time and had to spend a little longer in the shower than usual, so they can scrub the paint out of their hair. Plus, rinse off very well since there was a Slip-N-Slide that contained LOTS and LOTS of baby oil. Let's just say that I scrubbed for a good five minutes before I felt it come off! Nevertheless, I had a really great time of fun and frolly and got a really cute t-shirt as well! When it comes to water balloon fights boy versus girl style, I now understand why they say Epsilon is the most competitive. Them bulldogs don't play around!

I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the clubs and people who help set up these awesome events! This is why I'm proud to be a Faulkner Eagle! Soar Eagles.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
