NorCal Vs. SoCal: My Favorite Season Autumn
Brian Wu

My favorite season is autumn. I love everything about it. The air is cold but not too cold, like in winter. The colors of the leaves are just gorgeous. The "crunch" of leaves under my shoes when I walk on the sidewalks. The fashion and style that goes with autumn weather, in my opinion, is the best of all four seasons. In NorCal, you get to see alot of what I'm talking about. Everyone wearing light jackets, coats, sweaters, whatever. The orange, red, and yellow leaves on the streets and your lawn, even though you probably don't want them on your lawn. Those cool breezes that blow through your hair and make it get all messy and stuff. You don't get as much as that down here in SoCal. Back up North, the weather will drop down to as low as 60 degrees during the fall. Down here, I'm still experiencing 70s and 80s, sometimes I'll be really unlucky step out to 90 degree heat. In mothereffing November! Like, why? I'm still wearing what I basically wore during summer. I mean, living in SoCal has it's perks, like warmer beaches for example, but it sucks that I can't enjoy my favorite season like before since I have to be down here for school. If you like warmer weather, then you'd love it here. There's plenty of warmth down here. You'll have plenty of sunshine and a small chances of rain. It's very bright and optimistic. And all of these are great things but I still prefer my NorCal autumn. I like the occasional overcast and rain. Combine those two with being inside, huddle with a nice hot drink, and it becomes the perfect amount of coziness. I miss opening the window and listening to the rain fall, or ride my skateboard over the colorful leaves. It's okay though. I'll be back and get to enjoy those autumns in two years. Just gotta keep on keeping on.

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.
