Round 1 NBA All-Star Game Predictions

The past few years, online NBA All-Star Game voting start on Christmas day. If this year is the same, it would be starting a week from when this article is being published. Here is my personal picks at the 1/4 mark of the season.

12 players from each conference will be selected to a pool, in which the 2 team captains will draft their teams. The leading vote in each conference will represent their own team, and the highest overall vote total will have the 1st pick in the All-Star Draft, also on TNT.

5 players from each conference will be decided by a 1/2 fan, 1/4 media, and 1/4 player vote. The 7 reserves will be selected completely by coaches, who cannot vote for their own players. Each conference's starters will consist of 2 guards and 3 front-court players (Forwards and Center). Each conference's reserves will consist of 2 guards, 3 front-court players, and 2 wild-card spots that can be any o

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!

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.
