Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! This little yellow sponge has been bringing laughter and happiness to the world for almost twenty years. During my interview process to get into Wake Forest I was asked ‘If you could be any fictional character who would you be?’ I thought there was no one more amicable than Spongebob Squarepants; he has a positive outlook on life that resonates with everybody around him and he always knows how to get a laugh. Who better to describe how it really feels to attempt the most typical New Years Resolutions than this small square of happiness and hope.

It's January 1st when you are positive that you will stick to your resolution, whatever it is, and become your brightest and best self in the new year.

When you find a best friend who is going to do the same resolution as you so that you can build each other up and keep each other motivated.

Going to the gym with your best friend, devoted to getting your perfect body.

Failing miserably after two weeks and going to pig out with some junk food.

Getting mad at your best friend for not keeping you on track and not making you more disciplined.

Anytime you give up any kind of delicious food, drink, or guilty pleasure.

When you decide to commit to academics and focus as hard as you possibly can at school.

Realizing you will never surmount to anything academically and accepting your fate.

Trying to take on more than one resolution at once and getting a wee bit overwhelmed.

Seeking out an old friend that you had burned bridges with and giving a peace offering to try and make amends.

When you try to pick up a new hobby that your Grandma has always wanted to teach you such a sewing or knitting!

Finally accepting that telling yourself that your resolution is going well and will continue to go well is only in your...

Riding out the rest of the year completely content that you are not going to change and realizing you were already amazing before these resolutions.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
