Some of us are superstitious, and some of us are not. Some people see superstition as irrational, but each one had to come from somewhere.One big part of superstition is the belief that certain things cause good luck. We all know the common ones, such as the rabbit's foot. Here's a list of 10 less well-known things that are supposed to bring good luck:

1. Entering a place with your right foot or stepping out of bed with your right foot first.

This is one of the few things you can actively do to help your luck.

2. Finding a penny face up

Keep an eye on the ground always and you might get lucky!

3. Taking a bath with salt water will give you a change of energy

Something to do if you are having a streak of bad luck.

4. When a ladybug lands on you

Not very lucky if you are afraid of bugs though.

5. When bird droppings land on you

Disgusting but lucky.

6. When you put your clothes on inside out

This is only lucky if you do it by accident.

7. When you make eye contact with a stranger wearing yellow

Again, only if this happens by accident.

8. When you see a full arc rainbow

Like most things on this list, it happens rarely.

9. Meeting someone that has the same name or birthday as you

What are the chances?

10. Crossing your fingers when you walk under a bridge

Some people claim that if you don't do this it brings bad luck, others believe that not doing it just means nothing happens, up to you to decide!

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.
