After reading Urban Dictionary: Stevenson University Edition, I decided to do a little bit of my own "research" on my wonderful school, University of Alabama. By doing so I found quite a few definitions that had been submitted. I picked my top four, so here we go...

1. The premier University in the state of Alabama and located in the town of Tuscaloosa, aka T-Town.

Many people who don't attend or who aren't from the south make fun of it, but the fact is the University is extremely wealthy and has an abundance of some of the best-looking people in this country (probably due to their high family income and nice weather). Many prominent American families with "Old Money" send their children here, as they know they will make connections with similar families and continue the tradition of running this country. It is home to the most legendary football team in the history of the game, and has won 13 national championships. Many people like to boast about how their school is better because they have "higher test scores and harder curriculum" and a bunch of crap, when really what matters is not the grades you make but the hands you shake. It is said to be racist, particularly by northerners and westerners, when the people at UA are just strong willed people who love their way of life and would die defending it, whether that be from enemy nations or liberals in the far corners of our own beloved country. Most are of Anglo-Saxon descent, and their lineage goes back to the founding of this country.

Sam: Hey Michael, what school are you going to after graduation?

Michael: I think I am going to attend the University of Alabama. Roll Tide!

Sam: Nice! I guess hooking up with gorgeous women and meeting other wealthy people is worth the humidity..maybe I'll go there!

This is from 2011, but hey it's still a pretty great school!


2. A horrible college in the middle of Alabama; known for their constant beatings by crappy teams like Mississippi State and Florida (who cares about them?)

Dude, did you hear about Alabama getting smacked around by Arkansas? Man, I bet even Virginia Tech could beat them!

OK, so this was written in 2003, but obviously, someone who didn't go to a school with a winning team.2. A horrible college in the middle of Alabama; known for their constant beatings by crappy teams like Mississippi State and Florida (who cares about them?)


3. Home of Alabama football and of the most delusional fans in all of the sports. ESPN's Pat Forde said it best, "Irrational passion and general delusion don't just drive the bus at Alabama. They drive the wheels off it like Dale Earnhardt."

The mascot for the University of Alabama is clearly an elephant, but they say roll tide.

This was written in 2006, but we aren't delusional by any means. Probably written by an Auburn fan.


4. The most amazing place on earth. The greatest college in the SEC and since the SEC runs NCAA athletics that makes it the greatest college in the country. It is a place where tradition matters...12 National Championships, 21 SEC Championships, and more bowl appearances than any other team in NCAA football. It's where the great "Bear" Bryant became a football legend. The place where the amazing Nick Saban now hangs his hat.


One of the biggest party schools in the country. Everyone has a good time during a visit to the U of A.

Auburn University wishes it was the University of Alabama.

Written in 2009, this person has the right idea. Truly the greatest school in the SEC and the most amazing place on earth... kinda like Disney World, but for college kids. And they're right, Auburn does wish they were us.


Do you agree? Yes? No?

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.

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.
