Ready, Set, Vote!
eonline.com

With Election Day right around the corner you want to make sure you are informed and ready to make the biggest decision we as American citizens can make- voting for the President of the United States. Here are a few reasons to get excited to cast your ballot on November 8th!

1. You get to to exercise your Constitutional right to vote. Too often we take this for granted. Blood, sweat, and tears were shed to allow every U.S. citizen over the age of 18 to vote. Do not let those who died and fought for all genders and ethnicities to be able to cast a vote be in vain.

2. You have the ability to use your voice to make a difference. Each individual has the opportunity to take a stand and support their parties candidate. It is the time that every citizen, no matter income or social status, is on equal ground. Words cannot express how inconceivably cool that is. Every single person in our nation (over 18) has the power to vote for the ideals they want to live by, the policies that they agree with, for the America they want to live in. We the people have the ability to mold and change our nation as we see fit.

3. You get a sticker! Okay so this is a bit trivial but who cares. Stickers are so cool. You can even follow in the steps of celebrities like Zoe Kravitz or Katy Perry and post a picture on social media to let the world now that you care for your country enough to vote.

This is just a friendly call to action. Please vote, it is so important and impacts every single one of us. Vote for yourself, vote for your family, for those who died so that you could have the ability to.

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.
