An Open Letter To The College That Changed My Life Forever
Akim Powell

Dear College That Changed My Life,

I just want to start by saying thank you for making me a better, more independent, psychopathic person. I mean isn’t that the recipe for college? If so, then I’m on the verge of making a New York Times Bestseller Cookbook. You gave me the confidence to illegally walk the crosswalk while feeling like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex In The City. No, it's totally fine because I knew if I died, I died beautifully and exam stress-free.

Without you, I wouldn’t know how to survive with one meal a day while walking 658933 miles to class without going into cardiac arrest.

Without you, I wouldn’t know how to sneak into the frat houses in full disguise with the pseudonym as “Tiffany from the Coast.” Oh yeah, hey boys!

Without you, I wouldn’t have experienced drunken nights on The Square eating Chevron’s infamous chicken on the stick while waiting for Uber.

Without you, I wouldn’t have experienced cramming on an Albert Einstein level yet totally failing the exam. This taught me to study more, and party less.

Without you, I wouldn’t have experienced the extraordinary, yet mind-blowing tailgating phenomenon. *Fun fact: During The Walk of Champions, Chad Kelly touched my hand and I didn’t wash it for 3 days.*

Without you, I wouldn’t know how to write an 8-page paper in 24hrs but surprisingly get an A.

Without you, I wouldn’t know the beauty of The Grove and that we should never take it for granted.

Without you, I wouldn’t have experienced gangster squirrels who looked like Sandy Cheeks from Spongebob but acted like Muhammad Ali.

Without you, I wouldn’t be who I am today and that’s why you’ll always have a special place in my heart. Even if I fail 6 classes and get hit by a bus.

Thank you,

A student who will be a future celebrity

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.
