Micheal O' Leavitt Center For Politics

I don't think anyone understands the definition of annoying until you talk to me about politics. I love politics. Big emphasis on love. I live, breathe, and dream politics. It's hard to miss the fact that I am a political science major when I annoyingly bring up politics every 60 seconds.

So here are ten things all political science majors know to be true;

1. You counted down the days until your 18th birthday.

Low-key registering to vote was probably the highlight of my life after 18 years of waiting.

2. You live for political debates.

Who doesn't love a good Friday night debate? Debate night and chill, anyone?

3. Just thinking about this upcoming presidential election makes you cringe.


*Chews Nails*

4. When your friends tell you they aren't voting you get really butt-hurt about it.

If you don't vote, I will most likely have to quit the friendship, because real friends vote during election season.

5. When the presidential campaign makes a stop at your school, IT'S A BIG DEAL!

6. Reading a Supreme Court decision for your American Constitutional Law class is the literal death of you.

*Internally screaming*

7.When it hits you that you have to take POLS Empirical Research to get your degree.

RIP to me. Please pray.

8. When people tell you political science isn't a real science.

Talk to the hand hater, your opinion is irrelevant.

9. You are known to have *accidentally* started beef with other family members because you can never keep your mouth shut when it comes to politics.

If only you had kept your mouth shut...oh well...

10. Although, we may be hard to handle and love to know everything about politics, and most likely will ALWAYS correct you, we promise we are still a sweetheart inside.

Well, I can't promise I'm a sweetheart all the time, but I'm definitely nicer than Donald.

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:

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.
