Never have I ever thought that I would be developing characteristics based on what kind of face mask my peers are wearing. This is our new world, and this is my attempt to make some positives out of the situation. In no way am I here to stereotype masks, just a little fun in which I believe many others can resonate with.

1. Surgical

The disposable surgical masks are most likely the most effective mask, however it is the most basic. Those who wear these particular masks either wear the same one everyday or are the reason Amazon was sold out of them, no in between. Jokes, jokes, however this type of person is most likely super chill and is maybe somewhat lazy, considering these are disposable.

2. Tie around the head

You must have sensitive ears, or dislike the feeling of your ears being pushed forward by elastics. I get it, this is not a pleasant feeling. All due respect to you, please let me know hairstyles that coordinate with this statement mask!

3. Face shield

The facial shield is usually worn by those who must have to for their profession, or those who are absolutely terrified of coronavirus. To add, they also look pretty cool, transformer vibes! But how do you eliminate fog?

If you are looking to spend some money on a mask, it should be these. They are quite expensive, but they seem to work the best, from my research. Every time I see someone on campus wearing one, I instantly think of construction workers and tend to unconsciously take them much more seriously.

5. Decorative

If we have to wear them all day every day, might as well make them cute. Right? These packs from Athleta are all the rage on Villanova's campus, and they go with any outfit! Those wearing these masks most likely need their morning coffee after their daily yoga sesh!

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.
