The Chicago Cubs finally broke the curse, and Cubs fans can finally be happy again. The Hot Stove is already in action and teams are already looking at free agents to bolster their rosters. There are a lot of good players on the market and they are all predicted to end up in different landing spots.

1. Yoenis Cespedes

Cespedes has got to be the biggest free agent on the market with opting out of his contract with the New York Mets. A few of the west coast teams will be looking for a quality left fielder. The Angels and Giants have been in talks and they could be escalating.

2. Aroldis Chapman

Aroldis Chapman was a huge part of the Cubs success down the stretch and into the postseason. The 100 mph hurler will be looking to make big money this offseason. The Giants have also talked to representatives of Chapman. If the Marlins feel strong enough, they could be a dark horse to sign him.

3. Justin Turner

Justin Turner has been a very productive player with his time with the Dodgers. He works hard and most importantly has great hair. He has great power and I hope he finds a good landing spot.

4. Mark Trumbo

No other player in the majors had more home runs than Mark Trumbo. He has a lot of power, but with a lot of power comes a lot of strike outs. Someone will most likely overpay for him and it will be interesting to see if he has a year as good as last year.

5. Jose Bautista

Bautista has battled with injury but a lot of his power still remains. However, he is not the player he used to be, his defense and contact rate are not the same, and he probably will not get maximum money. Teams will be cautious with him, and rightfully so.

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.
