College As Told By "Parks and Rec"

If you have ever seen "Parks and Rec," you have probably already thought about how similar you are to some of the characters. Here are a few times when "Parks and Rec" perfectly understood what it is like to be a college student.

1. When your professor doesn't care that you have exams and projects due in every class, and they assign another project.

2. Ramen noodles or sushi? Water or Starbucks?

3. When you have time to relax but you need to clean the house.

4. When you're falling behind in a class, but extra credit was just given out.

5. When that one kid in your class is bragging about his 100 percent.

6. When you give up on your future for a brief moment.

7. When you just decide to wing your group presentation.

8. When you accomplish everything for the week before it is due and you make it to all of your classes.

9. When you bomb that exam you thought you did amazing on.

10. Is this what it feels like to be well rested?

11. When you're assigned a group project with a less-than-motivated crew.

12. Excuse me, professor, how did you get 3? I got 245,590.

13. Ordering a book on Amazon that you needed two days ago.

14. When it's Monday morning and you have an 8 a.m., but you went out the night before.

15. When you are OCD and working in a group project.

16. House parties: Are they really necessary?

17. When you ask your professor to round your grade up.

18. When it's time to begin preparing for finals week.

19. Finals Week: Need I say more?

20. But at the end of the day, you can always sit back and enjoy a class of wine.

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.

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.
