My first time experience on a Greyhound bus

Its a Thursday morning when I wake up at 5 am to leave my house at 5:30 am. You may ask yourself where am I going at this point in the morning during my summer vacation. I am on my way to take my first greyhound bus ride of my life at the age of 19. On the ride up to the bus station, looking out at the scenery I cant help but be both excited and nervous for my trip. When we get to the bus station, I check in my bag and get the luggage tag for it. We sit there and wait and wait and wait. We all start to line up as it gets closer to boarding time. Yet they dont board us, 5 minutes before we are suppose to depart the station, mind you still not boarded yet, they tell us that they have to change out the bus because the mirror is about to fall off. Like the bus has been sitting there for a while and you just now need to go get it replaced. So well we wait for that bus to come, the nervousness kicks in because I want to get going on my travels. When we finally board the bus 45 minutes after we were supposed to leave, I sit down in my seat, and connect to the wifi. Trying to get Pandora to work but it doesnt seem to, so I am stuck with my same 25 songs on my phone that I have listened to many times now and believe i listened to them each like 3 or 4 times while on the bus. As we drive I keep checking the map that tells us where we are, wanting to know how close we are. When I finally reach my destination sight, I take a deep breath and realize all my stress before hand was for nothing, I made it.

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.
