7 Reasons To Love The Rain
"Rain" by J.F.

For me, rain is always a sign of goodness. The day it began to look stormy on campus, I had a great audition for the spring theatre show, I finished a paper a lot sooner than I expected, and the "Take Five" in Bowman even had different flavors of applesauce for breakfast. My spirits are always lifted when I hear rain patter on the roof and the warmth of a blanket has never felt so refreshing. It has been a fantastic few days for me, but for many others, it is a frustrating time of wringing out umbrellas and arriving at class with shoes full of water. If you love the rain as much as I do, then you will probably recognize these feelings.

1. Splashing in puddles.

Yes, I do it. There's nothing quite like the feeling of jumping into something like a little kid.

2. It goes well with music.

I'll admit that when it's not raining, I usually play a clip from online with rain in it to accompany my music. Who can resist?

3. Thunder and lightning.

I love sitting by a window and watching those bright flashes and feeling the rumble of thunder in my chest. It's frightening, exhilarating, and fascinating.

4. Getting caught in a storm.

No umbrella? No problem. Sometimes we are just meant to get caught in the rain to experience the pure joy of standing in the middle of a storm. Plus, if you're with a significant other, it can be incredibly romantic.

5. It's like seeing the world start over.

The world has taken a fresh shower and feels awake and refreshed. Whenever I see it happening, I feel refreshed myself.

6. Afterwards, it looks just beautiful.

To me, after the rain flowers and trees look like they've taken a breath of fresh air. Everything seems to be brighter and the mist left behind makes everything look cinematic.

7. It ends with a rainbow.

Life looks brighter after the storm has passed.

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.
