Thank you for putting up with all my alarms in the mornings.

A Thank You To My Freshman Roommate
Laura Brusati

Recently, I have been seeing a lot of my roommate from Freshman year. She has gotten involved at the Newman Center, which makes me extremely happy because it has been such a blessing in my life and I want the same for her. I have been reflecting on last year a lot and have realized how much I miss it.

I lucked out when it came to roommates. I did not know her going into freshman year, but I did know that she was Catholic, which I was very excited about! I remember the day we actually met. I was so nervous that she wouldn’t like me or that she would think I am weird (because I am) but she greeted me with a HUGE hug and was so genuinely happy to meet me. In that moment, I felt at peace and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face!

We have so many great memories. One time we ordered pokey bread (cheese bread) from a local pizza place and just ate pokey bread on the floor of our dorm at ten o’clock at night. She didn’t mind when I made coffee at midnight just because I would crave it. She put up with all my alarms in the mornings and frequent naps. She always listened to me go on and on about the same things and never failed to ask me about my day. She is one of the nicest and most outgoing people I know. She never judged me for my Taylor Swift décor, or my Dove wrappers (I collected Dove chocolate wrappers. Yes, I know that is really weird). I could talk to her about faith and be open about my religion because she believed the same thing. The thing I love the most about her is that she truly listens to what I have to say. She will ask me about people in my life, my dog, etc. Things that I talked about a lot last year. I can tell she really cared/cares about what I said/say.

So thank you Anna. I really lucked out and you are truly amazing. I am so happy I have those memories with you last year and I love seeing you at Newman. God placed you in my life to bring so much joy to me and indeed you have. I miss Freshman year and pokey bread, and picking on Justin. Thank you for all the memories, laughs, and most importantly our friendship.

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.
