What "Friends" Taught Me

Due to my love of "Friends" (the TV show, of course), I just have to write about what it has taught me.To some, "Friends" is just another TV, but to me it is another set of friends.

1. Never use "we were on a break" as an excuse.

2. It is not that common, it does not happen to every guy and it is a big deal.

3. Everybody has a lobster.

4. Quitting the gym is just as bad a quitting the bank.

5. "Man bags" aren't manly.

6. Do not count "Mississippily" when getting a spray tan.

7. "How you doin?" never fails.

8. Never let a monkey near a TV remote or Scrabble game pieces.

9. It is not smelly cat's fault.

10. Never let it slip out to a child that he or she is adopted.

11. Everyone has an identical hand twin.

12. Drinking a gallon of milk in 10 seconds is possible.

13. When moving furniture, pivot!

14. When in doubt, put the turkey on your head.

15. For more space in bed, use the "hug and roll" technique.

16. Yemen is always a good place to escape from unwanted exes.

17. Make sure to say the right name at the alter.

18. If stung by a jelly fish, pee on it.

19. Read all pages of a make-up letter, even if it is 18 pages front and back.

20. Leave your synth keyboard in the '80s, where it belongs.

21. Meat is not an ingredient in a trifle.

22. Always double check your measurements when you are building an entertainment center.

23. Never let a chicken and a duck near a foosball table.

24. Do not leave whitening gel on your teeth longer than recommended.

25. Taping oven mitts to your hands can help from scratching if you have the chicken-pox.

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.
