22 Songs That Need To Be A Part Of Your Personal Soundtrack Playlist

Remember that scene in the movie "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" where Emma Watson's character loves a song (number 15) so much that she climbs into the back of the pickup truck driving fast through a tunnel and spreads her arms, totally enamored by the music?

I've always loved imagining myself as the star in an iconic scene like that, and it's fun to think about which song would be the one you're dancing along to. It's like in those coming-of-age scenes where the teenagers are riding bikes through a city or cartwheeling across a beach and the song playing in the background makes it feel just like summer.

Right now, winter feels almost eternal, so to escape those rainy day blues, blast these personal soundtrack-worthy tunes.

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.

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.
