So, who is the best team in the SEC? I don't know that I can answer that for you. Let's just say, no matter what, I do and will always support #DAWGNATION. What I've learned from being a devoted fan to an SEC team: no matter the numbers, the statistics or the standings, SEC fans are loyal to their team. Although I am very proud of Georgia, as they honestly aren't a bad team, I don't know who is the greatest team. It would kill me to praise Florida, but I have to give it to them. They've played in the most championship games and have had the most named MVPs. Bama came in hot with 10 championship games, seven named MVPs, and an almost perfect 2015 season. Bama also had seven drafted and three prospects, tying Georgia with five drafted and five prospects.

SEC teams, for the most part, are so comparable; it's hard to say who's the best. As stated above, I'm a die-hard Georgia fan, but I may root for Bama from time to time.

Who do you think is the best SEC team?

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
