10 Thoughts I Have While Studying

Useless ideas are my specialty, especially when I'm supposed to be studying.

Finals are fast approaching which means that everybody is simultaneously studying, cramming, and dying all at the same time in the same 1 week. When I study, there are only 2 possible outcomes: 1) I study and ace my exams, and 2) my brain instead uses all of its energy to think of the most irrelevant things that will never be of any use to any aspect of my life; there is no in-between. Most of the time, the latter is what happens, and they almost always sound as random as these:

1. Vending machines should have a 'Random' button for people who can't decide what to pick.

2. Prayer beads are basically the first fidget toy.

3. The Big Bang Theory with the laughing track removed is just four people making fun of an autistic person.

4. If we think in terms of language, how do people born deaf think?

5. The phrase “needless to say” is as inherently paradoxical as "President Trump."

6. Why is the alphabet in the order it’s in? Is it just completely arbitrary?

7. In the case that we were to incite World War III, our generation’s Anne Frank would probably be a podcaster with fancy advertisements you hear on STown.

8. Though the universe has a finite amount of matter, Olive Garden offers unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks.

9. If you were the last person on Earth, you would be average at everything.

10. I get that it’s nearly impossible to believe the there is no life outside of earth, but I sill still be really upset if the aliens found our planet and named it something dumb like ‘Naked Palette 3.'

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.
