To The Older Gent Who Had Too Much To Drink

Just because it sounds like a compliment does not mean it is one.

I have many stories, and some of them I am reluctant to share. But this one is for everyone who has been incredibly creeped out at a bar or restaurant by someone with too much to drink. I've been there, and if you haven't, lucky you.

Now, for a little back story, I was going to a musical with my grandparents downtown, and we needed food. But it had to be quick. Nearby the theatre was a local place that had excellent milk shakes, and they just happened to have a bar inside.

Anyway, my family and I sat at the bar, all of us hungry, and I'm not paying too much attention to the guy beside me. This is because, well, I'm not amazing with others and I keep to myself.

This was my first mistake because this guy had a few beers under his belt and was not sober. Though, let's move on. It gets much worse.

At this point, we have our drinks and are waiting for food. The guy then decides to talk to me or attempt to. Normally, I'm somewhat friendly and polite, but it was obvious he was really into his compliments and Jesus.

I'm Christian and understand how awesome God is. But this guy was going overboard in the most unpleasant way possible. I'm not sure what he thought he was doing, being honest.

Then after a little bit, he tries to touch me on the arm. After trying to end the conversation MULTIPLE times politely, as my grandma suggested, this action freaked me out more than anything.

Thank God for the bartender. They called him a cab and escorted him out. Though I still had a panic attack, and it didn't ruin my meal. The entire experience was just not okay for me on any level.

Drinking is not an excuse for doing something that will hurt another person. And, no, I'm not whining about this. The experience brought up my worst memories and I felt legitimately scared.

Maybe I'll tell you all more stories later. But I felt this was relevant as college is starting back and parties are also. Take responsibility for your actions and be safe out there.

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.
