Why Go To A Sadie Hawkins?

Girls ask the guys, it's always a surprise.

Why Go To A Sadie Hawkins?
Stacy Spivey

This is more than just a catchy Relient K song. A Sadie Hawkins dance is a golden chance for real role-reversal where girls are able to pursue guys and it is totally okay. Here are a few reasons why you should think about going:

1. The shoe is on the other foot.

I understand that asking someone on a date can be awkward and nerve-wracking but this kind of thing builds character. You have to look at the positive side, here are a few thoughts to ponder on.

2. Shopping!

Any excuse to try on pretty dresses with friends is a great one.

3. Party Time.

Who doesn't love a good time with friends?

4. The Fear of Missing Out.

"Maybe it could've been fun." Now I know that some people can find a petty reason not to go. "I can't dance." "I don't enjoy crowds." And, "I wouldn't have a date."

Who can dance these days anyway? Ladies, we don't have to sit around with hopes of our crush coming to sweep us off of our feet or stock up on pizza, ice cream and forms of chocolate.

This, however, does not give the guys a hall pass for the whole nine yards. A date is a date, and you call the shots. That means a bouquet of your favorite flowers, dinner at someplace with slamming bread rolls, get at least one good photo together and indeed a walk to the doorstep.

I've contemplated going to the dance at my school. I already had my Sadie Hawkins moment with winter formal, and it didn't go how I wanted it to. But I still went with a group of friends and had a blast. Even if he says no, don't let that ruin your fun.

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.
