I'm not sure how anyone enjoys walking the streets of NYC. It's a once-in-a-year day trip. That's all it should ever be.

1. "I need a bathroom. Why do none of these places have a bathroom? How do the employees at these places use the bathroom?"

2. "Why does it smell like diapers and weed everywhere I go?"

3. "I don't feel safe walking here. Don't make eye contact with anyone."

4. "Don't stop walking. Keep moving and don't stop for anyone trying to sell me something in the middle of the sidewalk."

5. "Why is this person in front of me walking so slow? I'm just going to run past them."

6. "How do people live here?"

7. "Why do people LIKE living here? It's crowded, smelly, expensive, and takes out all of my energy."

8. "I can't find any place I'm looking for."

9. "My feet are tired, but I'm not paying for the subway or a cab."

10. "Are we there yet?"

11. "Why is the GPS taking me this way?"

12. "I still can't find the restaurant with the GPS."

13. "I think I accidentally pushed an old man."

14. "Why is everyone pushing and shoving? If we just all keep moving quickly, we don't need to come in contact with one another."

15. "Should I trust this food? It looks kind of sketchy."

16. "Is it bad if I just want to eat McDonald's here?"

17. "Is the pizza even really that good?"

18. "No, I don't want to donate to your charity. You're probably just going to pocket the money."

19. "I just want to go home."

20. "I am so thankful that I don't live here."

21. "I miss the suburban life."

If you're debating whether you want to go to NYC for the weekend, just stay home. It's not worth it.

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.

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.
