Monday Week

Keeping it short and sweet

Monday Week
Parade Community Table

Everybody has those weeks where we have too much on our minds to express a solid thought. The weeks where we can barely form a word, or in this case, an article. Those weeks are the worst. In fact, they are called, Monday Week. The week where every day you wake up and fall into the foolish hands of the Monday ‘Oops’. Where falling down the stairs is the only way to get by in this situation.

Since this is one of those weeks for myself, I only have a few things to say. If this happens to be your Monday Week. Breathe. Take a step back. Everything will be okay. During this week, it seems like all your choices are being crumbled up and thrown back in your face. You can’t seem to do anything right and your memory is as sharp as a butter knife. Sarcasm is a necessity and undeniably an often used resource. When people ask what is wrong, we must learn to keep it to ourselves. Somethings are just meant to be personal. Besides the confidentiality of your situation, not everybody deserves to know your business.

Whatever you might be going through, take the time and build yourself up. Take a hot bath. Eat an extra slice of pie. Turn this Monday into a sundae. It is important to remember the self care when there isn’t a lot left to hope for. Look at the big picture and break it down. If the situation doesn’t change who you are as a person and what you were put on Earth to do, then it isn’t worth your time. Everything is temporary, but you are stuck with yourself forever. The money will come and go, relationships will bend and break, but it is yourself that you have to live with. Be selfish and tackle this Monday Week.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
