The floor. The shower. The sink. The bed. EVERYTHING.

If these words brought a chill straight to your bones and made every hair stand on end, you're probably like me: you hate, HATE HATE hotels. If it's not MY bed in MY room in MY house, I can not be comfortable.

Unfortunately, however, I LOVE to travel. The hotel... it's inevitable.

And it just seems to get worse the longer you stay.

1. You open the door and your eyes are automatically drawn to every feature in the room that makes you uncomfortable.

Which bothers you more, the horrific green carpet or the beige wallpaper that's nauseously peeling off like a bad sunburn?

2. After that long drive/flight, you have to get ready for your event with the dreaded shower.

Is it possible that you feel less clean after a shower in a hotel than when you stepped in?

3. Somehow you survive the shower, so you move to the sink to brush your teeth... but why does the tap water taste like a lake?

You're already considering the antibiotics you're going to have to take to get what could be lurking in the water out of your system.

4. Don't. You. Dare. Don't touch the floor with your bare feet. Ever.

Get those socks on ASAP and don't take them off unless your life depends on it.

5. You reach into your bag for your hairbrush, only to realize you forgot it.

And now that you realize it, you also forgot your pajamas... And your phone charger... How far is home again?

6. You finally get to the bed. Ahh, time to sleep.

But wait. Didn't your best friend in third grade tell you that the hotel staff usually never washes the comforters on the beds? And what about bed bugs? Who knows what's in this pit of softness and filth.

7. You're hot, you're cold, you're burning up, you're freezing.

You've gone through more drastic temperature changes than the Midwest in the middle of March. When will you ever get comfortable?

8. You finally get comfortable, but it doesn't matter. You can't sleep anyways.

You toss and turn all night, and eventually decide you won't sleep until you get home.

9. The next day, you are way too tired to even function.

Due to the tossing and turning all night mixed with the constricting blanket trying to cure your hypothermia, your eyes never were shut for more than a few seconds. Now you have to deal with the aftermath.

10. All you can think of is how you would rather be home.

Every single moment of the day is filled with a siren that wails "I WANT TO GO HOME" in your head.

And finally... after what feels like centuries... you are home.

Ahhh.

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.
