Ten Minute 2016 Summary

2016. Now that Christmas is gone, the eyes of the world are set on the start of 2017. A year full of promise and what most hope to be the complete opposite of 2016. Now, a year is a long time, it's 365 days! How is one supposed to remember what happened? Well here is a recap of 2016's major events and boy was 2016 busy.

1. January 2016

The announcement of Zika occurs and the world breaks out into an anti-mosquito mad house. Pretty #Ebola on steroids.

2. June 2016

The U.K decides to 'peace out' on the European Union. I mean this is just, I honestly don't even know what to say here except 'God save the Queen'.

3. August 2016

Summer Olympics come around as well as Ryan Lochte's rumor of being robbed in a Rio gas station. Dude, you already look like a jackass with your bleached hair, please don't lie and make America look like a bunch of a**hats. Thanks.

4. Losses

THIS IS THE WORST PART. We lost Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Muhammad Ali, George Martin, Prince. LIKE COME ON. PRINCE?? YOU HAD TO TAKE PRINCE?? (but BLESS all of those purple rain remixes)

5. Freakin Harambe

What can we say? We Americans love our gorillas and do not agree with wrongful deaths. We also encourage the act of giving him over 14,000 votes for president. He was a good gorilla. RIP HARAMBE.

6. 2016 Presidential Election

Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton. I'm just gonna leave those here....

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
