Remember ME

The Art Of Speaking...

It was a beautiful bright and sunny day and it was a Tuesday (The club was going up...). The wind was just right, and the sun was smiling ear to ear. I had just arrived at the Farrison Newton building. I sat down and began to sip on my cold sweet ice tea, nothing could go wrong. A beautiful young lady sat down nearly 7 feet away from me. She had on a Yankees jersey, even though I despise that team I let it slide because of her beauty. I got up and in my meanest Denzel Washington impression I approached her and "spit game." We both talked, laughed, talked...and laughed again! So fellas we all know its not official till we get the digits right?! Well fellas I'm sure you know what went down...I GOT THAT NUMBER!

*In Reality*

It was a normal long day, it was hot as holy hell outside and I came inside Farrison Newton looking like I just ran 5.2 miles. Well I felt like I ran that much cause where I stay at and the walking distance should be illegal, but that is another story. Anyway, I was sitting in the lobby of Farrison Newton and noticed to my right that there was a girl beside me. Perfect Cocoa Brown skin, eyes look like they could melt silver and lips was just...I can't even explain. I had cotton mouth, I reached my water only to realize that I had none. I was frozen, she had me shook! I was literally having an inner battle with myself about going to speak to her. I knew a had an open window before 10:40 break happened. My mind is telling me no! but my body is telling me YESSS! (R. Kelly voice). Long story short, I didn't speak and she left with her friends. But why didn't I speak? It's so easy, I could speak to any female on campus, the moment I have a crush or an infatuation with one, it's like my lips have been removed. Is it because society paints the picture of the ideal gal? Am I afraid of rejection? Is it because of FATE?!?! All I know is one thing and one thing only...I didn't speak. In future notice, will I speak? Maybe, until then guess It will just be another moment in my college career. *Weeps*.....Not really.

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.
