Why I Spend Time On Stories (And Not The Snapchat Ones)

Sometimes an escape from reality is necessary.

Why I Spend Time On Stories (And Not The Snapchat Ones)
Odyssey

We all feel the need to escape from the daily grind of life sometimes, and we all have our own ways to do so. Stories are a way to escape from your daily life and you can totally get lost in them. Whether it's a book, a film or a tv series (or even a visual album or such), sometimes you just need to get away. I love getting lost in another world, another reality or just the life of others. Stories bring a different perspective on things you might recognize from your own life and may give you insight in how to handle certain situations.

First of all, I have a huge love for reading. I think it's the most intense way of experiencing a story. I love getting sucked into the life of other people. I love discovering new world inside a fantasy universe or learn about all different kinds of magic systems. I can totally get lost in a book and I would definitely recommend picking one up once in a while, even if you're not the biggest reader.

Series are also a great way to unstress. I love binging my favorite shows or just watch a new episode every week. I find it amazing how people can come up with all these different concepts and scenarios everytime, again and again. I love visual stuff and I love that there's so much content when you watch a series. A film is also amazing, but there's Always so much screentime when you watch a series and I absolutely love it.

Films are also one of my favorite ways to get lost in a story. I like so many different genres and I love old, classic movies. I think films are great for a quick escape, series usually have many episodes and a book takes a while to read. But a film you can finish in about two hours. I think it's the greatest thing ever.

Overall, escaping is necessary sometimes. Stories are my favorite way to do so. I thoroughly enjoy getting lost in another world and in my opinion everyone should once in a while!

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.
