So most people will probably skip over this, which is fine, but I must put this out there. "The Last Dance" is an absolutely phenomenal documentary that embodies the essence of sports and why they are more than just a game.

I personally grew up playing soccer, but my truest love lies with the arts. Even though I do not play anymore, I am so pleased that I did because it teaches you so much about people, the relationships between them, dependability, and being a part of a whole. This is exactly what the series captures.

The documentary follows the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan from 1991 to 1998 during their streak of winning 6 championships in 8 years. As focused as it is on those games, it is much more focused on the players and the dynamics between them. You learn about how they pushed each other, and were mostly pushed by Michael Jordan, in order to win the championship each season.

What is so intriguing about the nature of the documentary is the way in which these real people start to become characters to the viewer. You learn their personalities, and how their personalities work with each other.

What is also so interesting about sports is the amount of time people commit to them. When you are on a team, you are with those people every day, and you are expected to give your best effort to the people on your team at all times.

If you have not been on a team, it is really difficult to imagine what it is like, but this documentary will give such a realistic insight to you.

I could honestly talk about this all day, but I will not, so just watch it. Thank you.

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.
