A Morning Schedule To A Perfect Day At The Indy 500

Enjoying your time at the track is not hard to do, but having a great race day starts with good preparation.

With my alarm going off at 5:00 AM, I wake up with terrible sleepy eyes, but I’m not mad about it. In fact, it’s one the very few occasions where I wake up excited, anticipating one of the greatest events in Indiana: the Indy 500.

Having a successful race day is not hard to do. In fact, getting to be in the presence of fast cars and friendly faces is more than enough. But getting to really experience the Indy 500 means to enjoy all aspects. And how do you do that? Well, here is my morning schedule to prepare for a full day of fun at the race track.

5:00AM: Wake up. Make sure to go to bed early the night before so you’re not yawning the entirety of the day. The Indy 500 requires the most of your energy.

5:30AM: You finally got out of bed, good for you. Now, time to get in that bathroom and wash up. Put on some makeup, throw on your best America-themed clothing (usually the popular choice, especially in the Snake Pit).

6:00AM: Eat some breakfast. Let’s face the facts here, there is a lot of drinking involved with the Indy 500. If you’re over 21-years-old, you should know the dangers of drinking on an empty stomach. Even if you’re underage and not drinking, you should probably still eat.

6:15AM: Pack whatever you need. Water bottles are key to surviving the Indy 500. The end of May always calls for hot and humid weather, especially when surrounded by thousands of people. Sunscreen and sunglasses are other important items to have in your possession for race day.

6:30AM: Head out of the house. If you don’t live close to Speedway, Indiana, then this is probably much different for you. In fact, if you’re not even going to Snake Pit (which I highly suggest to get the full experience), you may be able to get away with pushing back your schedule a few hours.

7:00AM: Scan in your tickets, and meet up with some friends, and enjoy the great day you have ahead of you!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
