When You Need a little Wine in your life
A Taste of Wine and Art

Water, wine, wine water, basically interchangeable, right? We all need our wine fixes, (some more than others), we just never want to break the bank, especially college students. No need to fret my fellow wine lovers, after numerous trials and errors, we have compiled a list. Yes, a list, a list of wines that leave a yummy taste in your mouth, and a small dent in your bank account.


1.) A Pinot Noir from A to Z Wineworks out of Washington, Oregon.


My absolute favorite as far as Pinot Noirs go. It begins to tickle your palate with a fresh taste of nightshade berries and moves into a light aftertaste of warm spices, cinnamon, anise, and saffron. I have yet to see the price jump over $20, usually averaging around $15 per bottle.


2.) A Cabernet Sauvignon from Substance Winery in Columbia Valley, Washington.


Hello, the label looks like an element from the periodic table, it makes you smarter. This Cabernet Sauvignon has really grown on me. It is a very dark and bold flavor, leaving a taste of tobacco in your mouth. See men, tobacco, leaving you feeling manly, manly wine. Hardly breaking the bank at $17.

3.) A Sauvignon Blanc from Oyster Bay in Marlborough, New Zealand.

This Sauvignon Blanc is dry, but not desert dry. It is rather zesty and chilled, leaving you refreshed. One of my favorites on a warm day. Topping off at $15 a bottle, it's not too shabby mate.

4.) A Pinot Grigio from Cantina Tramin Winery in Trentino- Alto Adige, Italy.


A Pinot Grigio from Italy, oh you're fancy. This yummy bottle is so delicate with the taste of honey and nuts. I have yet to meet someone who turns their nose at it, $16 come onnnnn!

5.) A Rose from Chateau D'Aqueria Winery in Tavel, France.


Sometimes you need a little pink in your life. Where else to drink a Rose than from Tavel? There is nothing more refreshing than Rose, spring flowers and raspberries seem to dance along your tongue. Not only will you sound extremely sexy saying "Chateau D'Aqueria", you cannot beat $18, a small price to pay for such a fabulous taste.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
