An Open Letter To My Upstairs Neighbors

I don't consider myself an angry person, but you really bring out my inner Tasmanian Devil.

Dear upstairs neighbors,

I don't consider myself an angry person, but you really bring out my inner Tasmanian Devil. At first, it wasn't so bad. You made a little noise, but I'm sure we did too. Then it started getting out of hand. I can't even count how many times I've woken up to you showering while blasting your terrible music. I'm actually fairly certain I have your playlist memorized (there's a heck of a lot of Drake in there).

Then there's the issue of moving chairs across the floor. I swear with the way you drag and throw the chairs around, they're going to come crashing through our ceiling one of these days.

We're not even going to talk about the numerous times that there was so much stomping around coming from your domain that we went up to talk to you and realized Just Dance was happening.

We ALWAYS know when you're getting ready for a night out on the town; I promise it isn't necessary to wear your high heels until you head out the door. The periodic screams of excitement are also not cool.

You probably didn't realize this, but we had you on a punishment and reinforcement schedule for awhile. Those thumps you heard from down below? We were throwing a ball at the ceiling when you got too obnoxious. We had planned to bring you cookies when you were acting like peaceful, quiet creatures, but we're still waiting for that moment to come. Meanwhile, the cookies are no longer safe for human consumption.

Sometimes we can hear your talking over the TV, which is strategically on a higher volume than necessary to block out background noise. Hats off to you for thwarting our efforts.

Once upon a time, I didn't feel this immense amount of rage directed at you and your noise making, but all rational thought has fled at this point.

I swear you get inspiration from these upstairs experts:

(If you haven't already seen it, I definitely recommend watching the video here).

Sincerely,

The fed-up people downstairs

P.S. Is there a chance you descended from a line of elephants?

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
