To the person who will call my house home…

Climb in the crab apple tree, it’s the easiest to climb and the best place to sit. Keep that deck off the kitchen, my grandpa built that; it’s still here and now he’s gone. Sit on that back patio and enjoy the view, I wish I’d done that more. That bedroom in the basement was my 13th birthday present, and I loved that room. The closet in that bedroom is probably the best place in the world to experience heartbreak, it’s seen plenty of my tears. Just so you know, the vents carry sound to the whole house, so don’t talk on the phone too loudly. The bathroom in the basement might be small but it’s perfect, my dad and I designed that together. The backyard is great for running or throwing a ball for your dog (P.S. I hope you have a dog because that dog door needs to be put to good use). Enjoy that kitchen, it’s a great place for dance parties. If you haven’t noticed, my mom really likes the color green and she painted the whole house with it. She also happened to make this place a home for the last 17 years. Also, the mail always come super late. My mom loves the wallpaper in the master. And my dad loves that back porch. That room upstairs has seen plenty of laughs and games. The dining room has seen plenty of family dinners and talks. This house has seen plenty of love.

I was lucky enough to call this place home for the past 17 years. I’ve lived and loved here. But I’m realizing that it isn’t the place but the people that make a home. It’s hard to say goodbye to this beautiful home of mine, but I hope you make just as many memories as I have here.

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.
