Where is Outfly?
Wartburg Circuit

It's the magical time of year on Wartburg's campus where Fall Term in in full effect.

This means crunchy leaves, coffees, stressed-out students, and... Outfly predictions.

For those of you that don't know, Outfly is a day picked by the student body president and the president of the college. On that day, Orientation Staff wakes up everybody at like 6 AM to go to the victory bell. And if enough of the student body is there, then it's Outfly!

That means there's no classes on that day. Teacher's serve breakfast, there's games on the lawn, inflatables, a movie, and tons of other activities.

Other things happen too, like lots of naps. And the tattoo parlour has discounts on tattoos (I have 2).

Each year has a theme too. In the past there has been Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Survivor, Marvel,... the list goes on. The team puts out 3 posters that "tease" the theme. This year is really hard and I haven't heard a decent guess yet.

So Outfly is just this amazing things that students always look forward to in the fall. It's a great game to try to guess when it is.

This year, my guess is October 19th. This week has big event, next week is homecoming, and then it must be Outfly because the week after is Fall Break then it's getting to be too late.

No matter when it is, it needs to be soon. You can feel the campus-wide need for it. People are tweeting about it, people are saying it. There's just kinda an Outfly mood on campus.

Really I just want to know the theme, because I really hate not knowing.

So dear Outfly, where are you? We're waiting some-what patiently.

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.
