Everyone has their quirks. Certain aspects of their personalities that make them unique and sets them apart from the rest of the world. Whether they're a doctor, a nurse, a police officer, or a student you can bet that there's an intrinsic quality within them just waiting to be revealed. At the risk of sounding biased and presumptuous, I must say that writers are an especially unique breed of humans and their nature is worth taking a closer look at. I mean come on, what would the world be without writers? Some of the best movies and plays are written by some of these creative wizards. Yes, I say creative wizards because when you think of someone producing something from nothing what do you think of? I think of a writer using their skills to turn a blank page into images that tingle the imagination. Writers can transform mere words into vivid pictures that come to life. They can create worlds and cities that can't be found on any map. They can bring two seemingly unfit characters together and produce a love story so powerful that it inspires the reader to rethink their own preconceptions on what love should look like. With that being said let's talk about the five best aspects of a writer.

1. They are a creative and interesting bunch

There should be no argument that writers are a creative and interesting people. During their free time, you can usually catch them scribbling notes in their booklets about ideas that they'd want to include in their latest novel or article. These eccentric groups of people aren't limited to the everyday drudgery that encompasses the daily life of the average joe. Oh no, they are typically lost in a world all their own. I mean this in the literal sense. Writers don't only write about far away places they daydream about them too. How else could they write about such realistic adventures?

2. Always on the quest for knowledge

To acquire knowledge one must do their research. Writers don't limit themselves to covering topics that they're previously familiar with so their google history might look a little scary. A typical search history might look something like this: "How to pick a lock", "Quick ways to hide a dead body" or " How to seduce a married man" This creative soul is probably writing about a murder mystery or a steamy romantic drama and shouldn't be held accountable for their search entries. Because those novels won't write themselves.

3. Writers don't need you

It's a simple and sad truth that most writers are introverts and being an introvert simply means that they don't look to others to fulfill their social needs. Writers are great at entertaining themselves and honestly, they prefer to do just that. They are capable of enjoying the company of others, just like anyone else but let's just say that if they were stuck on a deserted island, they wouldn't die of loneliness. A book, a laptop, some internet access and an endless supply of coffee and chocolate would be the only items in their survival kit.

4. Kill off the haters

Another amazing aspect of being a writer is the ability to legally rid yourself of real life enemies. If there's someone that bugs the crap out of you just shove them inside your book and create the slow painful torturous death that would surely piss them off and grant you countless hours of joy reading about.

5. I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T

Writers are independent thinkers. This means that they are too busy making waves of their own to be worried about what the next person is doing, or thinking. They don't take the word of others. If they aren't sure about something guess what they do? They look it up. Writers have one thing in common and that's the quest for truth. These creators take solace in knowing that whatever question is worth asking is worth seeking the answer to. They're willing to go the extra mile to find the answers that they're looking for and because of this amazing quality, they continue to be one of the most intelligent beings on the face of the earth.

It's true. Everyone has something special about them and are all crafted to be unique in our own way. But writers are drizzled with that extra layer of madness that makes them a joy to behold and a force to be reckoned with.

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.
