Opinions make the world go 'round

Opinions are what make the world go around. Without them, there would be nothing interesting to discuss at the dinner table or at a family reunion. However, there are some unpopular opinions, and I’m here to let you know it’s alright! You need to stand up for what you believe in no matter how odd it may be. To help embrace your different thoughts, I’ve compiled a list of my unpopular opinions:

I’m all for putting outfits on your dog

It isn’t always tacky! I have a dog who likes to be constantly cuddled and swaddled. Sometimes it’s hard to accommodate to his needs when I’m working. If he enjoys being in a little grey sweater, then I have no right to take that joy away from him.

Celebrating fall and Halloween starts September 1st

September is about going back to school, and that is a fall event. You buy fall clothing, you participate in fall sports, and that’s when the fall drinks come out at Starbucks. You aren’t basic just because you happen to like a specialty drink that only comes around once a year. You want to savor your times with your pumpkin spice, and that’s totally understandable! You sip your PSL and wear your Ugg boots with pride!

On that note, celebrating the Christmas season starts November 1st

I love Thanksgiving; it’s my favorite holiday! However there are no Thanksgiving carols to be sung. You don’t get off for a whole week. Just like the specialties of fall, if I want to put up my tree on November 1st and start jamming to my Christmas playlist, then I’m going to. You can continue being a Christmas grinch all you want. Plus I have more time to celebrate the festive season, so who is the real winner?

Team Jacob

Edward was good for Bella, but Jacob was hot…

Shrek is the best love story of all time

A guy who falls for a girl because of her personality and not her looks. Sure, she’s pretty at first, but as an ogre, Shrek still loves her just the same. On the other hand, Fiona treats him the same way. He spends the first half of the movie complaining that no one will love him, and yet Fiona does. He isn’t a handsome prince, but she laughs at his jokes and loves being in his company. If that isn’t true love, then I don’t know what is.

I don’t hate the prequels for Star Wars

They aren’t as good as the original, but they give us answers, don’t they? I don’t think the first three were the main focus of the series anyway, otherwise they would have started with Episode 1. Luke and Leia and all our friends from the original make the series. The first three episodes serve as backstory which is nice to have and see connections.

Pickles are the most disgusting food on the planet

If a pickle touches my food, I want nothing to do with it. It’s just a salty cucumber. Cucumbers are sweet, and adding salt ruins them!

Baseball is better than football

Think about it: with football, you’re only watching around 12 minutes of a game. The rest of the time is replays, commercials, and overviews. Plus the plays only last a few seconds. Baseball is constantly moving. There are commercials and replays, but when they are in the midst of the action, that’s what the focus remains on. Plus, the baseball pants make everything better.

Cats aren’t that bad

I’m not a dog or cat person. I’m an animal person. You may have to take some extra time to get on a cat’s good side, but I’ve never met one that didn’t just want to play or snuggle. People say they’re mean, but they’re biting you for a reason. Just watch how you handle yourself around cats, and you’ll see a difference.

Ranch isn’t that great

I used to be a Ranch enthusiast. I’d put it on everything I ate. Now, I don’t see what the huge hype is. It’s good, but it isn’t the best thing to put on food when things like Ketchup or Mild Sauce exist.

Taylor Swift scares me

Don’t get me wrong. Her music is AMAZING. You can see me jamming to Shake it Off at any red light. She just seems powerful. She can sue you for copyright, and she won’t even let her songs be available on Spotify. She has some hardcore fans, and it’s kind of scary how most will defend her in a second. She is a queen, but maybe she has a bit too much power….

If we can learn to embrace our differences, we can keep the world spinning and have topics to discuss at the next big social event!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
