Being a huge theme-park-junkie, I have passes to nearly everywhere. I love the thrill of riding a new ride, but then again who doesn’t? Let me tell you, Universal Studios Orlando is the master of creating new and advanced rides for thrill seekers and for the people who want a little less of the thrill. Big or small, each ride has its own unique aspects that make it amazing. Each one of Universal’s rides captures the magic that is expected from such a well-known movie company. For those not familiar with this awesome place, the theme park has two separate parks: Islands of Adventure and Universal, which both hold the best rides ever. If you haven’t been there or want to try a different experience, here is my list of the top 10 must do’s at Universal Studio’s Orlando:

10. Visit Ollivanders Wand Shop

Going into Ollivanders is an experience within itself. It is located in Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure. There is nothing not cool about this. Ollivander helps a wizard pick out their wand—well he helps the wand chose the wizard, and yes, you muggle get to experience this.

9. Dragon Challenge

What used to be Dueling Dragons is now called Dragon Challenge. Located in Islands of Adventure, this roller coaster has two separate tracks, the Hungarian Horntail (blue) and the Chinese Fireball (red). The Fireball does go faster than the Horntail, but both are equally as fun.

8. The Revenge of the Mummy

This indoor roller coaster is great for every age! It immerses you in the movie completely!

7. Drink a hot and frozen Butterbeer

No this is not alcoholic, but yes this is delicious. You will feel right at home with this drink! Don't be afraid to ask for the regular, it is just as good!

6. Jurassic Park River Adventure

OK, this ride is pretty great because it is not only thrilling, but it cools you off after a long day in the park. Located in Islands of Adventure, this ride has everything from real-life animatronics to a plunging drop. Warning: you will get wet!

5. Fear Factor Live

Yes, I know what you're thinking, there will be bugs. This is located within Universal. This is a great stop, though! Two hours before each show you, yes you, can audition to be part of this show. If you're not as brave as those daring people, the show fully immerses the audience by having them make obstacles for the participants. This show is super fun!

4. Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon

So this is the newest ride at Universal Studios opening in early April, and I received the chance to ride a technical rehearsal of it. This ride was amazing. The graphics were perfect, and Jimmy Fallon's humor is always hysterical. The wait will be a little longer than usual, but Universal make's up for that with its interactive lines. Be prepared to experience "The Tonight Show" through a different way.

3. Rip, Ride, Rockit

For the thrill-seekers this roller coaster is amazing and by far the best roller coaster in Universal. The take off is straight up, and it has a never ending cycle of twists and turns. If you are anything like me and get scared easily of the bigger rides, do not be intimated by the height of this ride. There is music that is playing through your seat that works perfectly as a distraction.

2. The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman

Okay, this is a classic at Islands of Adventure. This ride has amazing graphics. It makes you really feel like you are a part of the Spiderman comics. This is my favorite ride throughout the entire park.

1. Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.

Let's be real, they're both awesome. Universal pulled out all of the stops for these sections of their parks. Diagon Alley is located in Universal, while Hogsmeade is in Islands of Adventure. These sections really make you feel like you are on the set of "Harry Potter." There are a million small details throughout each part from the employees not understanding muggle items such as debit cards to a singing frog choir.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
