I felt like during the summer I kept listening to the same kind of music and never really branched out. When I was growing up, it was always country music playing in the car. A 20-minute trip to the grocery store - country music. A 6-hour car ride to Ohio - country music. And I honestly loved growing up on it. But when I started going to school it was just normal for people to make fun of you for listening to country music. But, to be honest, I love country music. I started listening to songs from when I was growing up and they just make me so happy, especially during this time of the pandemic. So I wanted to share a few of the ones that bring the biggest smile to my face!

She Wouldn't Be Gone by Blake Shelton

I don't know what it is, but something about screaming this song in the car with the windows down just really clears my head.

Holes In The Floor Of Heaven - Steve Wariner

This song is sad, but if you have a loved one that has passed away, this song actually brings so much peace.

Watching You - Rodney Atkins

I loved this song when I was 7 (I had a full dance to it that I choreographed myself) and I'm still obsessed with it (the song, not the dance).

You're Gonna Miss This - Trace Adkins

I never really understood the meaning of this song when I was younger (ironic if you know the lyrics) but now whenever I hear it, it really does bring tears to my eyes.

Need You Now - Lady A

My sister and I used to scream this song in the car together like we have felt heartbreak before at 6 and 7. Definitely a good song though and I've always loved how well Lady A's voices blend together so nicely.

Wild At Heart - Gloriana

This song is just something else. I absolutely love it. Anytime it came on in the car I'd ask my mom or dad to turn it up. And now, I just do it myself.

Last Name - Carrie Underwood

And of course, to the woman that made me lose my concert virginity: Carrie Underwood. I distinctively remember watching the music video to this song on CMT Country Music Videos on tv and thinking "she's so cool." Well, she's still cool and I still wish I was her.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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!

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.
