Regardless Of The Stereotype, I Am Proud To Be An Aries
Bailey Reiser

The zodiac sign Aries is known to be an aggressive group of people who don't put up with anyone's crap. Stereotypically we are a group of people who are self-absorbed and very quick to lose their temper. Most people try to avoid an Aries because they feel that they are hardheaded and that they will attack them for doing little things or for getting on their nerves. I have always been told that Aries is the sign you think of when people get upset easily or whenever I'm scrolling through Twitter and those astrology accounts pop up, Aries is always the sign with underlying aggression to their answer.

This is something I have always found offensive in a way because I don't find myself an overly aggressive person.

I never felt that I really identified with my zodiac sign and I was upset at a young age that I didn't fit into this stereotype that I thought I should. Since everyone had always told me about the negative sounding aspects of an Aries, I never knew there was even a positive side to it. The negative and destructive aspects of the sign were always prominent.

While this can be true, I feel like there is so much more to this group that is seen by the world and the people who do not fully educate themselves on the qualities of the signs. Naturally, I find myself falling into some of the ideas of the Aries sign. I am a very stubborn person and I do like the risk-taking aspect that follows the stereotype. However, instead of the negative connotation associated with some of the qualities, I fight to find the positive even through these derogatory aspects.

While everyone finds the bad, I feel like this aggression associated with the Aries is something that I mentally have altered to make the understanding that I'm not aggressive, but I am strong and powerful. I am the type of person that will not let other people walk all over me. I stand my ground and make sure that I am confident and pushing to be the strongest one that I can be. I feel like along with this negative idea associated with the temperament of the Aries sign, it makes us feel like we have to hide the fact that we are who we are.

I'm proud of who I am.

Being an Aries has automatically made me stronger. I love that I have this sense of adventure and willingness to try new things. I may be stubborn, but I really just see it as taking a stand and being determined. When I set my mind to something, I make sure I go through with it. No one can change my mind because I know what is right for me and what I want to accomplish in my life. I feel like being assigned to this star sign has really helped me find myself. I am so appreciative that this has helped push me to become who I am today.

Yeah, we may be thought to be this crazy controlling and harsh type of person, but we also are the people who never give up, who see their goals at the end of the tunnel, and the people who are always open to new adventures and treasuring the way that it takes to get there. I am so thankful to be the person I am today, and I think that being an Aries just adds to the good parts of me. I hope all of the other Aries out there love themselves as much as I am learning to love myself. Happy Aries, season ladies and gents.

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.
