Why Kent State Is Better Than Akron

Well, Kent State it is finally homecoming week. This year Kent State has the privilege of playing our biggest rival the University of Akron. If you did not know there is a competition between Kent State and Akron like no other. We compete for the wagon wheel a very sacred tradition between our two schools. While some may feel the University of Akron is better here are a few reasons Kent is better.

1.) Our mascot is better!

2.) Our campus is prettier.

3.) Our Greek life is bigger.

4.) While they have black squirrels ours come and hang out with us. ( really I had one in my room once).

5.) Kent is a nationally ranked school.

6.) We have a fricken food truck!

7.) We have some famous alumni in case you were not aware.

8.) Our fashion school is also one of the best in the nation.

9.) WE HAVE A CAMEO IN TOY STORY THREE. That is the coolest thing.

10.) Our downtown is beyond gorgeous.

11.) We clearly have the better students.

At the end of the day, our 100-year old rivalry will still live on. One thing to keep in mind is that Kent State will always be better than Akron University. Go Flashes and I will see you all at the game Saturday!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
