On Wednesday, January 13, the owners of the 32 NFL teams met to vote on the relocation of one franchise to Los Angeles. At the end of these meeting, the owners voted 30-2 to relocate the St. Louis Rams to LA; this brings football back to LA for the first time since 1994.

There were three teams up for relocation: the St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, and Oakland Raiders. The three teams prepared presentations to present to the owners and the owners voted in favor for the Rams. The Chargers were giving the options for a joint move with the Rams and have till 2017 to make their decision. Both the Raiders and Chargers will receive $100 million to build new stadiums if they decide to stay.

""Relocation is a painful process," said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. "So the excitement that we feel about being able to return the Rams to Los Angeles is balanced with a disappointment that we weren't able to get it done for our fans in St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland."

There is already tremendous support for the relocation of the Rams to LA.

"Today, with the NFL returning home, Los Angeles cements itself as the epicenter of the sports world," says LA mayor Eric Garcetti.

Rams now join the Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, Angles, Kings and Galaxy in LA. LA is one of the largest sports markets in the world and was in need of an NFL team.

The Rams will begin playing in LA in 2016 in the famous LA Coliseum. The new stadium will be located in the LA suburb of Inglewood, where the old Hollywood Park racetrack was located. The new stadium is reported to be one of the biggest stadiums in the world and would have the ability to host the World Cup, Olympics, and many other sporting events. It would create millions of opportunities for sports in LA.

The return of the Rams to LA marks a new era for sports.

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.

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.
