What We Didn't Get From Tiger Woods
CBS Sports

To me, and many others, your'e a hero, a role model on the course, and a legend. Tiger Woods, you are the single reason I ever wore a Nike golf shirt, the number one reason I ever wore red on Sunday and a big part of the reason that I ever picked up a club. You made us laugh with your post round interviews, you made us smile with your 30-feet birdie putts and wild fist pumps. You also made us cry during the victory hugs with your Dad, and the countless moments that you shared with the fans.

There is one thing missing from you that all of us need. We need you to come back just one last year, one last month, one last major, one last week! For us it feels like you just died, one week you're winning the next you're out with an injury never to be seen again.

Other people get so much more from their heroes, Peyton went on a farewell tour and won a SuperBowl. Kobe departed by making huge entrances at every arena and one classic 'Kobe doing Kobe' game. The thing is, to us, Kobe and Peyton are nothing in comparison to you Tiger, you're who we want to be like.

We didn't get that final ride, we didn't get that last time you came to our home state course, we didn't get that last round dramatic victory on the 18th green. I know that is a lot to ask for, your health is out of your control and I know you want to be out there playing but if there is ANY way possible come back!

The thing is, we just miss you. We love you Tiger! We want to see you one more time, hit it 300 yards and know you can do better. We want to see you put on that red shirt and make us all smile! Come back for us. Come back, to say goodbye.

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.
