All the info for Raleigh Supercon has been dropped for this year, and the lineup looks AMAZING! If you don't know, Supercon is a chain of conventions that cater to all things nerd, and the Raleigh stop happens from July 25 - 28, 2019. It's a good thing that it lasts 3 days, too, with all the stuff going on!

1. The list of celebrities is INSANE!

Giphy

Supercon's really bringing the heat this year with their celebrity line-up. Including, but not limited to: Christy Carlson-Romero (Kim Possible, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Even Stevens), Felicia Day (Supernatural, Mystery Science Theater 3000, The Guild), Chris Sarandon (The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Princess Bride), Mike Colter (Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, The Defenders) and literally TONS more!

They include voice actors, animators, artists, comedians, and professional cosplayers!

2. There are gaming events, including MLG players, console games, and more!

Giphy

If your nerdiness is more video games instead of superheroes, don't fear! There are gaming events for you to take part in! They range from free play on pc or console, co-op tournaments, and even interactions with major league gamers.

3. Photo-Ops with Stanley, Creed, Oscar and Meredith from "The Office"

Giphy

Are you, like most of the world, a fan of The Office? Supercon's got you covered. Leslie Baker, Creed Bratton, Kate Flannery and Oscar Nunez (aka Stanley, Creed, Meredith, and Oscar, respectively) are all available for photo-ops!

4. TONS of Cosplay Competitions

Giphy

Supercon's list of cosplay events is epic, including fashion shows to contests with $1000 cash prizes and runway contests. Whether you're someone who cosplays, or someone who just likes seeing others rep your favorite characters, there's a cosplay event for you.

5. There's a fantasy wrestling match!?

Giphy

Yep, you read that right: fantasy. wrestling. FSCW (Fantasy Super Cosplay Wrestling) is an event where you can watch combos like Spider-Gwen and Skeletor or Bane and Starlord wrestle it out.

6. Tim Freakin' Curry will be there!

Giphy

If you don't know Tim Curry...you're living under a rock. His list of work is seemingly endless, but he's most widely known as playing Dr. Frank N Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Pennywise in IT (1990).

He's actually so popular that Supercon has an entire sub-section on their website just for Tim Curry tickets.

8. Snag some cool art of your favorite characters.

Giphy

Just like any classic convention, Supercon has an Artist's Alley! One of my personal favorite things to do at conventions is check out the vendors, so that's where I'd be spending most of my time, honestly.

If you're an artist in the Raleigh area, you can sign up to be a vendor here.

9. Disney fans...there's a ton of stuff for you here.

Giphy

Not only will there surely be Disney cosplayers, but a ton of voice actors from your favorite animated movies and shows will be at Supercon! Including the voice of Ariel and Eric from The Little Mermaid, Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ron from Kim Possible, and even the voice of Donald Duck himself! There's even a comedy event called Drunk on Disney!

10. There are comedy events!

Giphy

If you're out of nerdiness to partake in and want some laughter, Supercon has 4 different comedy specials to get your giggles going!

It's pretty clear that no matter where your interests lie, Supercon has something for you to do. These 10 events are only the half of it, too. Be sure to check out their website to find out more about how to get tickets!

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.
