11 Truths Every Vermonter Knows About Free Cone Day
Huffington Post

Everyone and their mother show up for free cone day. I mean, who wouldn't want free Ben & Jerry's? We are all used to waiting in line for at least a half an hour, and it's all worth it in the end. Get bored? They have employees coming around with ice cream facts!


2. You will get multiple ice creams during the day

What's so wonderful about this is that you can get in line as many times as you want...or as much ice cream your stomach can handle

3. You have been going ever since you were little

It doesn't matter how old you are, everyone loves Ben & Jerry's. I remember going for dessert with my family because it's an all day event!



4. You see multiple people you know in line

You're from Vermont, of course, you will see people you know!


5. You always get the same flavor

Once you fall in love with a flavor, you always say you will try another, but in the end, you always stick with what you love! For me, that's Cherry Garcia!


6. You don't need to look at the menu being passed around

There's always a menu being passed down the line to tell you what flavors they are serving that day. It usually stays the same every year, unless they have a new flavor they want people to try. Again, once you have fallen in love with a flavor, chances are, you are going to get it every time.


7. You are upset when there is no Ben & Jerry's near you

No one else understands the struggle of not being able to go to Free Cone Day. Like it should be a National Holiday

8. You have it marked on your calendar months in advance

APRIL 4TH BABY!!!


9. Calories don't count today

*Scoff* What are calories, there's no such thing!

10. You've skipped work/class to get ice cream

It was the best feeling in the world junior/senior year in high school when my friends and I were finally allowed to leave campus during school hours. It came in handy for Free Cone Day because we definitely skipped classes that year to go get ice cream


11. You pile an illegal amount of people in your car to go

I couldn't tell you exactly how many people, but it definitely looked like a clown car when we all got out.

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.
