The Flyers showed their new mascot to the world earlier this week. And it had some interesting backlash to say the least. For one, its name is Gritty, already not setting the standard super high. He is literally an orange thing with fur, there really is no other way to describe it at this point. Its been a few days since he was introduced and he has taken the hockey world by storm. Its all anyone is talking about, even the penguins and the panthers have made jokes at it. The mascot looks like everything else, but what it actually, a mascot.

1. The inside guts of a pumpkin

Perfect for halloween, not so perfect for the NHL

2. Annoying Orange

Another orange thing with a face, perfect

3. Animal from the muppets

Someone explained gritty as "Animal's deadbeat dead" and honestly I see it

4.That big orange thing from "Looney tunes"

I have no idea what that thing is and I have no idea what Gritty is

5. A ZZ Top beard

Actually the beard is less terrifying than this

6. The Orange, weird brother of the Grimace from McDonalds

I didn't even know he had a name, but again he's even less terrfying than gritty

7. The Canadien's mascot if he got into hard drugs

The canadien's mascot is an upstanding member of society who kids love, Gritty is not any of those things

Honestly this just describes how we all feel about Gritty

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.
