You can have fun at home too!

To Those Who Stayed Home This Spring Break
Health Tap

It's that time of year again, students around the country are packing their bikinis and swim trunks and taking it to the likes of Vegas, Los Angeles, Colorado, and Miami. Then there is me. I'm packing my bikini just to go back to my hometown and sit by the YMCA pool with a book and my laptop. If you're like me, then this story sounds familiar.

Ultimately, the real reason why I decided to go home this week rather than living it up like most kids my age, was because I am so exhausted. Ever since spring semester started, I've barely gotten any sleep, eat about twice a day, and am never at home. So instead of exhausting myself more, I decided to stay away from all the crazy partying and late nights so that I can catch up on some Zzz's.

The next reason was to save money. Initially, my friends and I came up with all these ideas of where we should go and what we should do. Then we came to our senses, we have way more important things to spend our money. So the spring break trip idea was marked off the list, and most of us decided that going home to a comfy bed, and a home cooked meal would be the best way to spend spring break.

I'd just like to say, that if you're like me, then you're probably watching everyone's Snapchat stories and feeling bad about missing out on all the fun. In reality, it doesn't have to be that way. Even though you might feel like you're stuck at home, this week off from school or work is the perfect time to work on something creative, or catch up on some good books, or even finish a good Netflix series. Don't allow yourself to become bored. Relax and have a good spring break...at home.

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.
