Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tears for Fears, The Police, David Bowie, U2, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Queen...

Did you recognize all or most of those artist names and movie titles?

If you did recognize all or most of these names, then you can thank the 80s for that!

The 80s is the decade where the culture, music, movies, and fashion were nothing like we have ever seen before. The 80s was the decade that was all about creating change in how Americans listened and watched entertainment. The 80s was the start of making coming-of-age movies and creating music that we still love to listen to today. The 80s was the start of why we have so many good movies and songs. Without the 80s, where would we be in the entertainment world? Where would we be in this crazy fashion world without the 80s? Where would we be as a unique American society without the 80s? In my opinion, we would be nowhere as close as we are now!

Here is a sneak peek of just how amazing it was to live in the 80s:

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.
