Yes it's fun to sit back sometimes and drive long distances with your best friends, but theres nothing quite like a solo road trip to clear your mind.

1. No arguing over music

You get to listen to exactly what you want, when you want! Being 100% in control of the music during a road trip is a luxury that is rarely granted to us. There are no yelling matches over music when its just you driving!

2. You can take as many (or as little) pee breaks as you want

Face it: its no fun to be on somebody else's schedule, especially when it comes to your potty schedule. Driving long distances all by yourself saves you the time of other people needing to stop, because you only need to stop for yourself!

3. Junk. Food.


Road trip food is of course the ~best~ food. But when you're road trippin' by yourself nobody can judge your junk food choices ;) you get to choose from the best gas stations, drive thrus, and truck stops to fuel your road tripping self.

4. You can stop and so some solo sightseeing

Again, when you're driving by yourself you're on nobody else's schedule. Stopping to see some sights by yourself can be a great way to make memories on your solo trip.

5. Use this time to clear your mind

It's rare to spend a day traveling completely alone nowadays. So take this time to hit the reset button and spend of quality time with yourself. Enjoy the open road!

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.
