13 Uses For A Coffee Mug OTHER Than Holding Your Precious Caffeine Fix
Kelsey Dietrich

Coffee mugs are a staple in every household. They are quite easy to compile over the years because unique mugs are sold everywhere: your favorite coffee shop, gift shops you stumble across on vacation, and Walmart even. Even though you know you already have several when you find a new one, you are absolutely compelled to buy it. So other than drinking your morning coffee, what purpose can all of the mugs that you accumulate over the years live up to?

Here are 13 uses for your coffee mug that will probably justify the fact that your collection is continuously growing.

1. Writing utensil holder

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.
