You'll get used to it, I promise.

Sorry To The Roommates Of The Girl Who's A Mess

We are all moved in, woo! It's time; it is finally here for us to all finally live together. We may have had a few bumps in the road, and got some welcomed surprises, but here we are, together! Now that it is all out in the open, there are some things you should know and just learn to accept now. And I might as well go ahead and say it, I really am very sorry.

I am a mess. I have always been a mess: my room, my closet, my car, my life. About once every couple of weeks, my room will become this magical land of the clean and you will be able to see my floor like it once was. Fair warning, this will last approximately three days, and it will then once again return to the monstrosity I have learned to live in. I will keep the bedroom door closed, I promise. I may ask you to go in there from time to time to find something I most likely forgot, and if this happens, I'm sorry, but you will make it out alive. It will always smell like soothing incense though so don't worry about that part (I do this to contrast the appearance). Just tread lightly and know the floor beneath it is clean, it's just a little buried.

The kitchen may be an issue. I tend to just shove my used dishes in the sink under hot water and soap and leave it, probably because I'm running late to the class I should have left for 10 minutes ago. You'll know which dishes are mine, they're most likely the mass amounts of coffee mugs because let's face it, I really just don't sleep. I'll do the dishes, I promise, just give me time and maybe a couple of reminders. Same with laundry; if my load is in your way please just yell at me to move it. I don't mean to, it just happens.

I hardly sleep so if you ever need anything at any weird hour, I'm your girl. I will be as quiet as I can in the creepy hours of the morning. I like to sing, loudly and not all that great, so if the music is too much just ask for me to tone it down. I do have headphones, it is just sometimes out loud seems more satisfying. I procrastinate like it is my job for a living so any time you stress about cramming for a test just know I am 88% of the time awake and will gladly cry with you.

I forget things a lot and say things I will do later and later never comes. I am really loud and truly I don't mean to be, it is just the way I am. You will probably see the same shirt three times a week, every week, and it will continue to be the same shirt for the rest of the year. If I'm on day three of no sleep just know to avoid me at all costs, and that mental breakdowns are just around the corner. I'll leave my stuff all over the living room (probably because I'm running late), and I will whine about things that I'm the cause of. Regardless of it all, of all my mess, I will do everything I can for you. I will leave class early because you're locked out and I know you have a test in an hour. I will go to Taco Bell with you at 2 a.m. and cry about going to Taco Bell with you also. I'll make dinner when we are all too broke to get our own food, and I'll buy us pizzas when finals have done us dirty. I'll braid your hair when you're still asleep and can't function, and I'll help you pick out your outfit for the date with that cute boy in your chem class.

I'll make you laugh when you need it and I'll lecture you when even you know you need it. College is hard and life is even harder. I'm a mess and a handful, but I come with some pretty great perks, too. Here's to the next 365 days, may we all survive together or take each other down trying.

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.
