Don't talk in the quiet zone!

Welcome to the Third Floor of Ablah Library. Here you will find a bunch of books most people will never touch, an abundance of study rooms, and plenty of tables to work on your homework. It is also the quiet zone. YOU DO NOT TALK HERE! This is not the place to come with your friends and chat. It is not the place to talk on the phone with your mom. It's definitely not the place for you to be watching youtube and Netflix without headphones. This is the quiet zone. If you absolutely must talk, get a study room. They're free. Seriously, just call and make a reservation. Telephone anxiety? There's an online application! Not computer savvy? Come in person and talk to someone at the desk. It's really easy! I have rented rooms for skype and telephone interviews. I've had classes in them. And the third floor is just a great place to hide from the world for a little while.

I mention this wonderful, wonderful place because ALL Y'ALL ARE TALKING ON THE THIRD FLOOR!!! Y'ALL NEED TO STOP! Seriously. You walk up the stairs and there's a SIGN that says "QUIET ZONE!" Y'all are in college! You should know how to read and also how to just sit down and shut up. There are people working, crying over homework, and sleeping off the stress. Just chill when you come to the third floor. Leave all the other shit for downstairs. Please. Let me and my comrades do our final papers and cry over them. Or join us in our silent sobbing and working. But pick one. Don't try to bring the downstairs drama to the third floor. We appreciate it. Thank 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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
