This prank isn't funny.

Dear Creepy Clowns,

You've taken many college campuses and towns by storm over the past month. You've been in the news for scaring people, playing purge music and threatening violence. This clown movement has reached all ends of the country and has everyone on their toes in fear that they'll come in contact with one of you. My question for you is simply this: why? What satisfaction do you get from freaking people out? These clown sightings have gotten in the news and started police investigations. At this point, we know that the majority of you are harmless, but your motives are unclear. I think I speak for everyone when I say that you should stop with this whole clown thing.

Most likely, you are just trying to prank everyone. If this is the case, you have no sense of humor because this is not a funny prank for anyone involved. If you get caught, you will get into trouble. I just want you to take a step back and think before trying to pull a prank like this. For you, it may seem harmless, but you could seriously scare a lot of people. With all of the current violence going on in our world, it is second nature for people to be frightened and suspicious in a situation like this. Clowns are a common phobia with all of the movies and books about sinister clowns, so seeing a creepy clown in real life could seriously traumatize somebody.

Dressing up as a clown to scare people is not only frightening for your victims, it is also unsafe for you. Because so many people are scared of clowns, you are highly likely to be attacked by a victim. People have been going clown hunting to find you and hurt you. If you're smart, you'll stop doing this for your own sake.

You have free will to do what you want, but ending this clown drama is the best choice for the safety of yourself and others. If you all are just crazy pranksters, this prank is not funny. If you really do have malicious intentions, please rethink your actions.

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.
