Many people who are close to me know that I adore nerdy things, such as comic book television shows, movies, etc and various sci-fi creations. Two of the biggest nerdy obsessions I have involve Star Wars and Marvel/DC. I know what you’re probably thinking: “is this guy really about to tell us how much he loves these nerdy things? Who cares?” To answer that metaphorical question: yes, I am about to discuss how these “nerdy things” positively impact some people’s lives.

The reason I chose Star Wars and the Marvel/DC Universe is because of how much effort my parents put into making my childhood as fun as possible. My parents and I have seen all the old Star Wars movies (the old trilogy and new trilogy), and since the new ones have come out, I have purchased the DVD’s and watched the movies with them whenever I visit them. Every Christmas, we watch one of the Star Wars movies and it never gets old. I have a Rebel Alliance tattoo on my right arm because of how much I adore the franchise. In regards to Marvel/DC, the Flash (DC) and Thor (Marvel) have always been my favorite heroes from the respective universes. My dad and I have binge-watched the entire Flash series together, and it makes me happy to know that my parents take a genuine interest in whatever I do and like, despite how nerdy or silly it may be.

Another reason why Star Wars and Mavel/DC have a special place for me is because of my niece and nephew. Whenever I visit them in California, my nephew always touches my tattoo and says “Star Wars Uncle Robbie Star Wars!” He loves seeing the lightsaber battles and imitates the noises, and it cracks me up every time. My niece loves Wonder Woman, and even at her young age, she loves to embody Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. My sister asks her why she loves Wonder Woman so much, and my niece’s response blew us all away. She said “Wonder Woman does what she wants. She’s a princess, and I’m a princess, I wanna be like her.” My niece is only three years old, yet understands the theme behind that movie. As an uncle, it makes me happy and proud to see my niece and nephew fall in love with the same things I did as a child.

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.
