Dear Warm Cookies,

You are one of the worst and best things in the dining hall. The perfect dessert to grab on the way out of the dining hall and to munch on before heading to class. As a late night snack, nothing else is better. Unfortunately, there is such a thing as too many cookies. A frequent problem college students bond over is how every time we leave the dining hall, it seems like we leave with a warm cookie. During the meal, we think to ourselves, "I will not grab a warm cookie on my way out today." But as soon as we put our dishes away and head towards the exist, we always end up making a quick pit stop by the cookies, especially if a fresh batch was just put out.

For some people, the chocolate chip cookies get them. For others, it is the double chocolate. For me, it is the M&M cookie. Whatever the flavor is, people are always drawn towards the warm cookies, even if we know we should not be eating warm cookies after both lunch and dinner. But per usual, the pull of the warm cookies leaves us walking out of the dining hall with yet another cookie in hand.

The warm cookies bring students together from colleges all over. After telling my friend at the University of Michigan that I was writing an article about the warm cookies, she told me how she had the warmest chocolate chip cookie today, and I told her about my sugar cookie. Even though we are 520 miles apart, the warm cookies at our respective dining halls bring us together.

So, warm cookies, thank you for being the ultimate temptation but also a big bonding factor among freshmen college students everywhere. As much as we complain about the dining halls, we are always happy to indulge in a warm cookie.

Sincerely,

Freshmen everywhere

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.
