The Adventures Of Apartment 127
Katelin Dorow

Living with roommates is always an adventure. Whether or not it's a good one is up for you guys to decide. For us, it's a perpetual cycle of constantly telling at each other that we'll do the dishes when we get home from class, and then being slightly pissed and also ashamed when we find that they've been done before then. For a week, I've lived with not just one, but two roommates. We're an interesting bunch with wildly different habits and personalities. I have not had a dull moment since being here.

Today was the first day that we've spent the majority of our time with one another. Some people might expect an apartment full of girls to go crazy and sing karaoke in to our wine glasses or something. Well, I hate to inform you, that's not how today went.

Instead, while one of us was off being an adult at work, the other two didn't leave their rooms for quite a while. In fact, I watched Netflix in my room, only to come out and binge watch Netflix with my roommate Katie in our living room. It was fantastic, so when our third roommate came home, she was beyond glad to join us (after a three hour nap, of course).

Then something big happened. In the TV show, not in our lives, but aren't they actually the same thing? Anyways, this couple in the show we'd been binge watching had an entire episode of will they won't they get engaged? Well, I'm happy to announce that after three seasons of tearing my heart in to shreds, yes, they are getting married.

And what I noticed was this: all three of us, all in our early twenties are slumming it in bum clothes, yelling at the screen about how he didn't propose. And then he did, in a way that none of us expected. What happened next was all of us took in a huge breath of air, clutched on to our pillows and/or blankets, and just. Held our breath. With anticipation, we listened to every sappy word that came out of the characters mouth. There might have even been one or two tears wanting to form. Then, when the main character accepted, we erupted in to a fit of slapping the arms on the armchair, squealing, or just yelling obscenities at the screen.

Either way, it was stereotypical, and none of us regret it. We had to pause Netflix in order to eat dinner, where we discussed what we had just watched over a delicious crockpot dinner. We were laughing, dancing to the instrumental 'mood music' that Katie put on her phone. We call it Family Dinner.

It's only been a week, and I'm already being serenaded by my roommates to the theme song of this show. Don't worry, friends, I'm glad to be stuck with you.

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.
