A Note Of Appreciation To Towson University

As someone who cannot wait to go back to Towson this fall, I figured I would make a tribute to my home away from home. I am going to be honest, Towson was not my No. 1 school, but I wouldn't trade my first year at Towson for anything in the world, nor would I trade these next few years to come.

As someone who is from out of state, I will say that Maryland is different, and all that state pride can be (and is) overwhelming. But, I love it. I love being so close to the Inner Harbor, but also not too too far from home. There is never a dull moment. On top of all of that, it's home to my favorite place in the whole world Towson University.

Where do I even begin? The campus is absolutely stunning, with a combination of buildings both new and old. Despite there being over 20,000 kids, there is never not a familiar face around, no matter where you are. The campus is big enough that you don't feel trapped, but also small enough that is not too overwhelming. And the blend of hills and stairs gives me a killer workout.

But, more than that. The people are awesome. Everyone is so different that it is actually interesting. You don't get bored from talking to clone after clone after clone. I am in a friend group of six girls, and we all are completely different, but it works. The diversity on campus allows you to learn so much more about the world, far more than we can learn within the walls of the CLA.

Despite not being one of the larger state schools, there is never NOT something to do. From weekend activities on campus, to stumbling uptown or taking a cab to your favorite frat. I can promise you that you will never be bored.

We all have our favorite things about Towson. Whether it's the people or the area or the Jamba Juice (yum!). I think we can all agree that we are thankful for these four short years (or more).

So, thank you, Towson, for making leaving home a lot less hard.

Love,
Your Students

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?

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.
