Instagram stories these days have become a popular media platform. Snapchat had its time to shine, but now Instagram is in the limelight. Instagram story provides users to be much more creative than Snapchat stories do- with the poll, hashtag, and location features on Instagram, it is bounds better than Snapchat stories. I am not in any way shape or form an expert on this topic, but I have learned a few things in the time that I’ve used Instagram story!

1. Use the marker tool

The marker tool on Instagram is much more advanced than the one on Snapchat. There are 3 different cool markers to choose from. You also get to choose how thick you want the writing from the marker to be, and exactly what color. It’s especially ~aesthetically pleasing~ to do some cool cursive with the markers.

2. Layer wording

Whether you layer some cursive writing, some cursive and some block lettering, or two layers of block lettering- it all looks cool! Plus it draws more attention to what you’re saying

3. Use the location feature

Snapchat also has the location feature, but it’s not anywhere near as advanced as Instagram’s. It’s pretty neat that Instagram allows you to click on the location, and you can see other people’s stories and pictures that have also been posted there

4. Use your own filter

Sometimes the filters they give you on Instagram story are limiting- it’s best to use your own filter, just to give yourself some freedom! Just edit the picture on your own, and then upload it to your story from your camera roll.

5. Use the marker to do cute designs

Some pictures are just kind of plain and need something to spice them up, this is when this tool comes in handy! Use one of the markers and draw some polka dots or some squiggles.

6. Scribble with the marker behind block letters

For example, if you were writing on an all white picture, with some white letters, it might be a good idea to draw with a colored marker behind it. It will make the letters pop more, and look like you put more time and effort into it than you really did!

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.
