Formal szn is upon us. And with formals come coolers, and with coolers comes blood, sweat, and tears; because men couldn't just invite us because we're fun and intelligent, they need something tangible as well, right? *insert eye-rolling emoji here* Anyway, if you've ever painted a cooler then you know the struggles I'm about to list, and if you haven't, maybe keep reading and learn up on the subject just in case you ever get a text at midnight that reads, "Formal?"

Let's get started, shall we?



You've been asked on formal!! WOO! Nothing can bring your spirits down, including having to slave over a cooler as compensation.


But wait, what are you going to paint on each side? How unique are you going to make this thing? Google isn't helping, and you start to feel (and look) something like this while looking for some inspo.

How long can this thing really take? You can totally procrastinate and wait until 4 days before to start sanding and priming it! You find yourself doing EVERYTHING except working on your cooler.

48 hours later and it's time to dunk that paint brush in some paint! Let's make this cooler the next Mona Lisa!

Uh oh.. You can't seem to think about anything other than what you wish you were doing instead of painting said cooler.

At this point the only thing getting you through this is the copious amounts of comfort food and coffee you're intaking.

T-minus 12 hours until you load the busses to head to New Orleans.. At this point the odds of you handing your date an unsealed cooler are higher than your GPA. Fear and dilerium set in.

You've poured your heart and soul into the cooler, and now the next step is even harder than the others: you're expected to just give it away?

Now just a couple of thoughts from one cooler painter to another...

Remember, if it doesn't turn out as great as your roommate's...


Just think to youself, it could be much worse.

And most importantly..

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.

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.
