It is finally time to tell the big dogs of Hollywood to move aside, because there is a new “it” man in town. Coming all the way from Dublin, Ireland, with an accent that will melt female hearts and talent that will leave you in awe, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Domhnall Gleeson. The "m" is silent. He is taking cinema by storm and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. The man is sealing the deal on roles left and right. These roles aren’t just any of roles either. Let me break it down for you.

What do the movies "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," "The Revenant," "Brooklyn," "Ex Machina," and "Unbroken" all have in common? If you were thinking that they are all recent Oscar nominees, you’re right, but that’s not the answer I was looking for. Domhnall Gleeson is cast in every one of them. Not only does he appear in them, he plays major roles and does it like a long-time pro. I have been following his rise to power for a while, but I didn’t know the magnitude of it until I saw "Ex Machina." The film’s plot is not quite relatable, being a sci-fi, but Domhnall brings an honest and realistic element to the picture. This man has some serious talent.

It was to my utter surprise that Domhnall wasn't invited to the Golden Globe awards this year, seeing as he had a supporting role in so many nominees and winners. But, there is still hope with the Oscars that are coming up on February 28. Domhnall himself isn't nominated for any Academy Awards, but I'm sure he would enjoy seeing all of the movies he was in this year take home awards.

Now, Domhnall has gained enough momentum in Hollywood that he probably won’t have to worry about working ever again. His resume is already packed with high-caliber roles and he has only been in the business for a handful of years. He is also only 32, which means he has quite the prosperous career ahead of him. He is the fresh face that Hollywood needs. He has officially stolen the show and he is running away with it.

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.
