Saturday nights have a reputation for being filled with poor decisions, but more importantly... regret. For each person, Saturday nights have a different significance, and are spent doing different activities.

Age has no impact on the activities that take place on Saturday nights, personality does. Additionally, one's personality is a result of the environment in which he or she is raised. Some feel that Saturday nights should be spent with family watching a movie. Some feel that Saturday nights should be spent sleeping, some feel that there is an obligation to spend Saturday nights at a party, and others feel that schoolwork should be started or completed on Saturday nights.

One’s personality is exposed through how they choose to spend their Saturday nights, because Saturday nights are simply a result of what is thought. The people who study on Saturday nights, are motivated to do well in school. The people who routinely drink and party are those with an insecurity to enjoy life without help.

The significance of Saturday nights are that society puts an expectation of how Saturday nights should be spend for different age groups. Young millenials are taught that Saturday nights are meant to involve red solo cups and bottles of liquor. The problem with this is the pressure that comes along with how they do spend their Saturday nights. Societal pressure is a major factor in all that us young millenials do. It is challenging to be unique in a society with such little flexibility.

How each individual spends their Saturday night is their decision. If one decides to make poor decisions, they will wake up on Sunday morning with consequences. If one decides to study, they will enjoy their Sunday morning without a care about schoolwork. If one watches a scary movie, they will wake up Sunday morning from nightmares. However one spends their Saturday night is their choice.

Society should not dictate how a Saturday night should be spent. Society says that a girl should make poor decisions to impress the guy they want, and that a man should not be held accountable for their poor decisions. That should never be a worry. More importantly, there should never be an obligation to do or say something simply because society says you must.

It is a difficult thing to find yourself, especially when society constantly pressures an individual to be a normal. But, no person should ever feel like it is a necessity to spend Saturday nights in the same manner as another person.

Spend Saturday night as you please. Never feel pressured to go out with friends, or do something uncomfortable. Language exists as a form of communication. So, communicate and do not feel bad for being an individual. Spending a Saturday night differently than how society dictates is considered being an individual. And individuality is the greatest form of uniqueness.

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.
