March Madness is in full swing and thanks to the unbelievable upsets this year, we all have busted brackets! Whether you're acting like you don't care or openly care too much, I have the perfect ways for you to cope with fact you apparently know nothing about college basketball.

1. Cry

Don’t act all tough. You probably are about to lose a good sum of money. Just let it out, dude.

2. Focus on next round of games

Just because your first and second round picks messed you up doesn’t mean your future games or even championship winner are wrong... (unless you had Virginia and if that’s the case, just give up)

3. Eat

Go drown your sorrows in some salsa and buffalo wings.

4. Yell

Call your friends or whoever you’re in your pool with and just let it out. Chances are, they’re suffering too. Except the guy in 1st place in your pool. He’s living it up and you should avoid him at all cost.

5. Accept it

Accept the fact you should’ve been picking teams based on how cute their mascots are and not their stats.

6. Burn it

Light those brackets up! Bonfire in March! (Note: tip only for those who are insane)

7. Delete apps associate with college basketball

Out of sight, out of mind. Pretend it never happened. College basketball? Never heard of it.

8. Sleep

Just sleep until the entire tournament is over. By that time, you’re not worried about the games or the pool you’re in, you’re just trying to figure out how you’ve slept for almost a month.

9. Shots

If you’re of age, drink until your bracket is just a mesh of lines and colors.

10. Plan for next year

Because let’s be honest, you’re ready to do it all again.

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.
