We Should All Strive to be More Like Morticia Addams

"Mysterious and spooky"

We Should All Strive to be More Like Morticia Addams

The Addams Family. “They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re altogether ooky,” and for that we love them. The Addams Family, originally a cartoon in the New Yorker, has been presented in a number of iterations with the most well known being the 60’s sitcom and the two movies released in the early 90’s. Any member of the loving, supportive, and remarkably strange Addams clan is worthy of emulation, but honestly, who doesn’t want to be Morticia when they grow up.

Near and dear to my heart is Morticia’s penchant for wearing all black all the time. Despite my best efforts I have not been able to reach Morticia’s level of commitment to an entirely black wardrobe…at least not yet.

She is unabashedly herself. From her inspiring fashion choices to her fondness for the macabre, she holds nothing back despite the apparent discomfort of others. And, regardless of the judgements made by others Morticia remains remarkably un-judgmental and forgiving. In fact, she is willing to forgive almost anything, except pastels.

Furthermore, she supports this fiercely independent attitude in the rest of her family as well (making it little wonder she has a daughter as awesome as Wednesday Addams). Her devotion to the people that she loves is admirable and although Morticia generally maintains a level head I have no doubt that she could kick someone’s ass if it came down to it. After all, according to the 1991 movie, she majored in spells and hexes, otherwise known as the liberal arts.

Clearly, we should all strive to be as strong, independent, loving, and supportive as Morticia. And we should all strive to wear a little more black.

P.S. As a liberal arts student who has read some of Kepler’s Harmony of the World I can assure you that the liberal arts and spells and hexes are definitely synonymous

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.
