An Open Letter From The Freshmen To The Seniors
Caroline Buck

To the seniors,

Starting at day one, you have made me feel welcomed into college: from fellow writers to a Cappella singers, sorority sisters to classmates, you have been amazing friends and role models.

The first day moving into college, my PiChi (mentor that helps during Greek rush), hauled my 50-pound bags into my room with no complaints. Her bright lipstick and long, blonde braids could make any nervous student and sad parent happy that day. Any question we had, any box we had to move, she was there to help. Little did I know she would eventually become my best friend, sorority sister, fellow a Cappella singer and co-worker.

We may be a few years apart once you graduate and leave, but there hasn't been a day where you have made me feel like I have a number of years on Earth and credit hours as you. You've shown me the ropes, but you haven't made me feel inferior to you on the way. You've given me advice about how to approach professors, how to address boy issues and where the best place to get a midnight snack is.

I think it is safe to say that each of the others in the class of 2020 respect for you. We all have seniors they look up to in clubs, on teams and in classes. We hope that your endeavors after college are as great as you. We know we you will be successful in anything that you do. Please visit us when you can, especially if you are going far away.

Good luck, Class of 2017! We love you!

Sincerely,

The Class of 2020

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
