New Faces Of The Chicago Blackhawks
http://chicagostylesports.com/tag/chicago-blackhawks/

The Chicago Blackhawks broke hearts when they decided to clean house and get rid of some popular players on the team after winning the Stanley Cup in 2015. Fans were forced to say their goodbyes to #10 Patrick Sharp, #20 Brandon Saad, #27 Johnny Oduya, #23 Kris Versteeg, #91 Brad Richards, and #80 Antoine Vermette. Not an easy goodbye for most after watching these players game after game, win after win for several seasons. And after losing a handful of well-known players, the team is making moves to get new guys on the team that Chicago fans are unfamiliar with ... Let our hearts heal first, would ya?

With that being said, I have recently found myself questioning who these new guys on the ice playing for the Chicago Blackhawks are! Artemi Panarin? Dennis Rasmussen? Brandon Mashinter? Who are they? Are these the new faces of Chicago hockey? Should we get used to seeing them on the ice? You are probably sitting there thinking, "but I don't even know them? How can they be the faces of Chicago hockey?"

Well, they are and Blackhawk fans have to get used to seeing them on the ice. Let's get to know them a little better, together:

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.
